Whether you used the quiz or skipped straight here, all four paths are laid out below.

Stay Connected

For anyone who wants to stay part of the familia without a set commitment.

  1. Attend HLSA in August. Our welcome assembly, one of the biggest gatherings of Hispanic/Latine students at UF. Reconnect with friends and meet the affiliates and programs tabling.

  2. Come to General Body Meetings, held once a month. Stay in the loop on events and projects, and meet fellow GBMers.

  3. Join an affiliate. From cultural to career-focused, there's a group for almost every interest.

  4. Stop by Casita on Familia Fridays to study, hang out, and meet people.

  5. Follow @hsa.uf on Instagram to stay up to date on everything HSA.

​

No forms, no applications, just show up!

Start Strong

For first- and second-years, and first-year transfers, ready to get involved and grow with the community.

  1. Join Adelante!, HSA's pre-arrival program, before your freshman year even starts.

  2. Attend HLSA in August for a full overview of HSA's programs, affiliates, and opportunities.

  3. Apply to the Member Leadership Program (MLP), a mentorship and leadership program for freshmen, sophomores, and first-year transfers.

  4. Join an affiliate alongside MLP to build community early on.

  5. Apply to HSA Cabinet. Newcomers are welcome; cabinet is about contributing to HSA's work, not seniority.

  6. Stay involved as an MLP Director or on the Executive Board, if you want to keep building on what HSA gave you.

​

Pick what fits your schedule and interests. You don't need to do all of these to belong.

Deepen Ties

For upperclassmen ready to go deeper, even without prior HSA experience.

  1. Attend HLSA in August. Get exposure to all of HSA's affiliates and find where you fit.

  2. Come to General Body Meetings, held once a month. Stay in the loop on events and initiatives.

  3. Work toward voter eligibility by earning points through events like Solidarity Sessions, Winter Formal, Noche de Gala, and State of the Association.

  4. Apply for leadership roles: Adelante peer leader, the HLSA team, the Heritage Month team, or an MLP mentor. 

  5. Join a committee, like History Buffs or Affiliate Ambassadors, for a closer connection to HSA's work.

  6. Apply for HSA Cabinet, even in your senior year. It's not too late.

​

It's never too late to get involved. Upperclassmen bring experience the rest of HSA benefits from.
