The Student Organization for Latin American Studies (SOLAS) is an independent organization composed of both undergraduate and graduate students at UNM who have an interest in Latin America.

SOLAS engages in academic, activist, and social activities.


The mission of SOLAS is:

  • to increase awareness about Latin America through the facilitation of intellectual dialogue and by supporting cultural activities;
  • to advocate for Latin American Studies (LAS) and Latin Americanist students in other departments before the LAS program and the Latin American and Iberian Institute (LAII), and to represent the interests of SOLAS members before the university administration;
  • to support actions in solidarity with movements for social justice in Latin America;
  • to promote a sense of community amongst SOLAS members;
  • to work with other UNM and Albuquerque organizations that support the SOLAS mission.
