About USC Latinx Student Assembly
Based in Los Angeles, CA, the USC Latinx Student Assembly represents a collective voice for Hispanic and Latinx students at the University of Southern California. This student-led organization operates as a non-profit umbrella group bringing together multiple student organizations under a shared commitment to community empowerment and institutional accountability.
At its core, LSA is driven by a mission to voice the concerns and needs of the Latinx student body while facilitating comprehensive self-realization. The assembly recognizes that student success extends beyond academics to encompass professional growth, cultural identity, social belonging, and meaningful civic engagement. By creating spaces for these varied dimensions of development, LSA supports students in becoming fully realized members of the USC community and society at large.
The organization's values reflect a deep commitment to justice and equity. LSA explicitly rejects discrimination and oppression in all forms, maintaining anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-classist, and anti-oppressive practices throughout its work. This principled stance ensures that all students—regardless of background, identity, or circumstance—feel welcomed and supported within the organization.
LSA functions as more than a single organization; it serves as a connecting force among diverse student groups with shared values and complementary missions. By fostering collaboration and mutual support among member organizations, the assembly strengthens the collective impact of Latinx student activism and advocacy at USC. The organization stands as a testament to student leadership and the power of organized community action in creating meaningful change within higher education institutions.
