About the Latin@ Network

The Latin@ Network (LN) is one of five networks within the Standing Committee on Multicultural Affairs (CMA) within the American College Personnel Association (ACPA). CMA serves as a liaison to ACPA's leadership, focusing attention on issues in education and trends, which affect ethnic students and professionals in the College Student Personnel field. 

Specifically, CMA is composed of five singular networks: Asian Pacific American, Latino, Multiracial, Native American, and Pan African. All five networks work collectively to promote diversity within ACPA. CMA is a nationally visible and action-oriented group that addresses the changing cultural dynamics within higher education institutions and works to create multicultural strategies and solutions.

In general, the LN works toward providing community and professional network opportunities for Latinos and Latinas within ACPA. Additionally, LN provides leadership within CMA, representing Latino/a issues and advocating for programs, services and actions.

The "@" symbol

FYI, the "@" symbol represents the combination of the written form of "a/o." Therefore, Latin@ replaces the written form of Latina/o. Thus, in its spoken form, Latin@ is pronounced "Latino" or "Latina/Latino." The use of the "@" symbol is gaining increasing acceptance within the academic and technologic arena, especially among college students.
