Resources
We understand that navigating resources at a new instituion may be diffcult, especially during graduate school. That is why we created a directory of Latine Campus organizations and other student resources that may be helpful.
Do you know of an opportunity, resource, or organization that may benefit our community? Please let us know and we can add it to this page! Contact us at: puentes.admin@umich.edu
