Latinx Affinity Group

Who Are We?

NYU Stern’s Latinx Affinity Group provides a space for employees (staff, administrators, and faculty) who identify as Latinx/Hispanic, encompassing individuals of Latin American cultural or ethnic identity in the United States. Our mission is to build an equitable community for all NYU Stern Latinx employees. We strive to meet regularly to offer social gatherings and educational activities that foster a sense of community, encourage lively discussions about identity, and share valuable resources. We welcome all members of the NYU Stern community to participate, regardless of their background or affiliation.
