Emma Rosenthal and Ilsa Huerta, both graduate students in the College of Agricultural Sciences, began working together in 2017 because of a shared realization. Across the state, Penn State has a community of people "engaged with the Latinx community," according to Rosenthal. “What we wanted to do was bring all of these people who were working in all of these different areas together so that we could have some sort of unified goal and make sure that everyone is addressing the Latinx community to the best of their ability," Rosenthal said. After two years, Rosenthal and Huerta have done just that.

The mission of the Penn State Latinx Outreach Club is to 1) connect outreach-minded students to the Latinx Agricultural Network for supporting existing projects, 2) develop and implement outreach projects in support of the Latinx communities around Pennsylvania, and 3) provide a forum for the discussion of needs unique to Latinx communities. Contact Emma Rosenthal or Stephania Sandoval Arango to become involved.
