Alumni Outreach
La Casa Latina has several resources dedicated to alumni needs and services. These include the Association of Latino Alumni (ALA), an alumni mentor program, and career networking.
-
 Association of Latino Alumni
The objectives and purposes of the Association of Latino Alumni (ALA) of the University of Pennsylvania are to promote the interests and welfare of the University through the advancement of the interests and welfare of its Latino alumni; to inspire, develop and nurture the interests of Latino alumni in the University, and of the University in Latino alumni; to help Latino alumni strengthen and deepen the friendships, associations and interests formed as students at the University; to foster giving to the University consistent with the purposes of ALA; to develop and maintain close communication among Latino alumni, other alumni, Officers and Trustees of the University; and to establish a vehicle for the advancement of the higher education of Latinos by the University in particular, and higher education generally.
La Casa Latina accomplished one of its goals by creating an alliance with Association of Latino Alumni. La Casa Latina through the Center’s alumni mentor program, alumni speaker series, and alumni social network program attract a number alumni to participate in these programs. La Casa Latina was instrumental in working closely with the Association of Latino Alumni (ALA) and Alumni Office to co-sponsors events, such as the Senior Brunch, and workshops. In addition, as part of La Casa Latina’s mission is to work with Latino alumni and community members to provide mentoring, professional development, leadership and networking opportunities for La Casa Latina and the Latino students who utilize the center. Also, Alumni have served as mentors as part of the Latino Professional Pathways Program and advisors to the La Casa Latina Advisory board.
Alumni Mentor Program
A program designed to help undergraduate students who lack role models establish a relationship with alumni who can serve that need? La Casa Latina alumni mentor program is beneficial to providing leadership opportunities, role modeling and career advising to students. As leaders in their field or area of expertise, alumni can share experiences and career tips with students. Students will have the ability to discuss internships, college experiences, create networks and support mechanisums to guide them throughout their time at Penn. Before we begin to match students with alumni, we need you to provide us with information via the alumni registration form.
Career Network Program
The Career Network Program gives students to opportunity network with alumni regarding jobs, internships and externships. La Casa Latina will collaborate with Career Services to inform students regarding jobs, internships or employment opportunities. Please email La Casa Latina at lacasa@upenn.edu or see the alumni registration form.
