Chicano/Latino Fellows Program

What does the Chicano/Latino Fellows Program have to offer you?

As a member of this program, Fellows are provided with a Peer Mentor and a Faculty/Staff Advisor. Peer Mentors and Advisors serve as resources to the Fellows.

The Fellows receive guidance on academic matters such as scheduling courses, choosing majors, exploring areas of interest, utilizing university resources, and developing support networks.

The Fellows also have the opportunity to develop relationships with fellow students and community members.

Fellows have many opportunities, such as the following:

  • Research and internship opportunities
  • Study and test taking skill practices
  • Selection of academic coursework
  • Presentations about career opportunities and options
  • Motivational speakers and stress management presentations
  • Discussion of shared experiences among participants

You, too, can be part of:

  • Conferences
  • Campus Tours
  • Academic Workshops
  • Alternative Spring Break
  • Informational Workshops
  • Social and Cultural Events

The Chicano/Latino Fellows Program was established as a joint collaboration of the Chicano/Latino Studies Program (CLS), the MSU Office of Racial Ethnic Student Affairs (ORESA), and JSRI. This program, which is especially designed for freshmen and transfer Chicano/Latino students, provides ongoing guidance and support to ensure a successful transition to college. The purpose of the program is to increase the retention and graduation rate of Chicano/Latino students.

Alternative Spring Break

Alternative Spring Break (ASB) offers MSU students an opportunity to learn about the world while performing services to orphanages, retirement homes, and other philanthropic organizations. Fellows are encouraged to apply to ASB. CLFP offers two scholarships for our students to go abroad over Spring Break. Previous sites attended by fellows include the Mexican cities of Puebla, Queretaro, and Merida.
