Vision

The Vision of the Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center is to be a key support component in the quest for all Latino students at the Claremont Colleges to achieve academic success and graduation.

The Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center (CLSA) is dedicated to
helping students attain their academic, personal and professional goals.  This is accomplished by providing support services and programs that
are designed to complement and strengthen the existing resources at
the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges.  Academic, social and
cultural events which foster personal growth and multicultural
awareness are provided throughout the academic year.  These support services are critical in helping students to feel a sense of familia within the Chicano/Latino student community, as well as a sense of community within the larger college population.  These services include Sponsors (peer mentors) for all first-year, transfer and New Resources students, New Student Luncheons, our annual New Student Retreat, academic advising, a tutorial program, our Resource Center, and an informational newsletter, among other things.
