What is HSA?
The Hispanic Student Association serves as the go-to organization for Hispanic and non-Hispanic students wishing to learn more about Hispanic-Latino culture and connect with the Hispanic-Latino community at UF, as well as throughout Gainesville. HSA puts together a wide variety of cultural and educational events that are designed to celebrate the many cultures of the Hispanic-Latino people.
Some events focus on purely cultural aspects, such as music, literature, and dance. Other events provide forums for discussion on various issues that face Hispanics and Latinos in the United States and abroad. HSA is a diverse organization; therefore, its programming is equally diverse. In addition, HSA has thirteen umbrella organizations - each with its own specific mission - that supplement HSA's programming and enhance the opportunities for students to get involved on campus.
Our Mission:
To serve and represent the Hispanic and Latino community at the University of Florida by engaging students and developing future leaders. We aim to unify our community by educating and empowering students’ sense of identity while advocating respect, professionalism, and social justice values. The Hispanic Student Association is the voice of the Hispanic and Latino community at the University of Florida.
