About USC Latino Business Student Association
Founded in 1978 and relaunched in 2019, the Latino Business Student Association has established itself as a cornerstone community for high-achieving Latino students at USC in Los Angeles, California. LBSA operates as a familia of business-oriented students, leaders, and change makers united by a shared mission to develop personally and professionally while creating meaningful impact. The organization's commitment extends beyond individual advancement to encompass community service, social connection, and genuine relationship-building among its diverse membership.
What distinguishes LBSA is its holistic approach to student life. The organization hosts regular social experiences including on-campus tailgates for home football games, beach trips, and community gatherings—all designed to strengthen bonds among members and create a sense of belonging. This community-centered philosophy reflects LBSA's understanding that students thrive when surrounded by supportive peers who share their values and aspirations.
Serving the South Central Los Angeles community, LBSA actively demonstrates its commitment to giving back through regular charity fundraisers and volunteer opportunities. The organization connects its substantial member base with meaningful ways to contribute to local causes, having recently launched initiatives that generated over 300 donations for charitable purposes. With a rich history spanning multiple decades, LBSA has cultivated a legacy of developing leaders who understand that success means lifting others while advancing their own professional journeys.
