A note from your APSA Latino Caucus Officers:

Hello familia:

We hope that you are all well during this pandemic and surviving the shifts and disruptions to daily life, both at home and work.
For many of us, the question of returning to campus life during the summer has already been decided. Whether working remotely will continue through the fall term, or whether in-person participation at APSA will happen, remains uncertain.
However, and in the meantime, we are working diligently (and remotely) on business related operations. We will be updating the membership with announcements very shortly regarding our usual service and scholarship awards.

Sincerely,

Francisco, Marcela, Ivy, Jason, and Julia
