This week we will  discussing what it means to be a Latino/a at Williams and ways in which Vista has been (or hasn’t been) a part of your Williams trajectory.

September 12, 2013

For our first general meeting we  introduced what Vista is all about, ate some delicious Colombian snacks, and  got to know each other a little bit better. Vista addressed some of the most common myths surrounding our organization. Do you have to be a certain nationality to join Vista? No, all are welcome. Do you have to attend every Vista general meeting to be a member? No, feel free to attend as many meetings as you like. If you cannot stay for the entire duration of the meeting, that is fine too. How involve you are with Vista is up to you. We hope to continue seeing you all. Check out some pictures by clicking on the Gallery tab!

Mission Statement

The purpose of Vista is to provide a network of support and community for Latinos/as and Allies at Williams College. Vista provides a space for its members to express their concerns regarding the college community and their academics. Vista members also organize to have conversations about important political, social, and personal issues that are relevant to their lives and the Latino/a community at large. By hosting and funding events that encourage learning of the Latino/a culture, Vista also seeks to provide ways in which the student body at Williams College can attain a better understanding of social, political and cultural traditions inherent in our Latino heritage. Additionally, Vista serves as a mechanism that students can use to become more engaged in the national and global effort to improve the condition of all the peoples of the Latino/a diaspora.
