Latin American Residential Program This program was established by students in 1985 with the goal of exploring and celebrating Latin American cultures. LARP fosters an appreciation for Latin American languages, politics, and forms of cultural expression; it also, most importantly, fosters a sense of community. While reaching out to the wider community through collaborative programming, there is still the feel of a small-scale “home” environment. The 16th floor lounge serves as a meeting place for many Latin American and Latino affinity groups but is also the scene of study breaks and many family-style dinners. Program Goals: Through a mix of academic and social activities, the Program seeks to build a community that exposes its members to different facets and aspects of Latin American and Latino cultures and cultivates mutual respect and appreciation for the diversity of these cultures. Expectations of Participants: To get the most out of this Program, participants should plan to attend all core events and involve themselves enthusiastically in the development and implementation of Program events. To apply: Interested students must write an essay. For more information, see: http://harnwell.house.upenn.edu/latinamericanprogram Contact: |
