Latinx Association for Science & Health

at Baylor University

ABOUT US
The purpose of this organization serves to mold successful Latinx students to go out into the professional health field and impact their community based on the resources that were provided to them through this organization. In addition, LASH strives to increase cultural competence within our organization in hopes of inspiring more diversity and inclusivity in Baylor University; thereby, helping to gear our campus’ goals and resources towards minorities and their journey to becoming well-rounded health professionals.  

LASH offers opportunities for members to volunteer for service opportunities, offers members involvement in research, and social events to maintain the FAMILIA mindset!
