MUNCIE, Ind. — With Ball State being a very diverse campus, some students may struggle to find their place and a sense of culture. For most students, culture has been a big part of their childhood, and reminds them of their home. The Latinx Student Union (LSU) aims to give students exactly what they may be looking for: family, community and culture. They have open arms for all students regardless of where they come from.
The vice president, Natalia Ramos, explains the significance of community for students just like her.
“I went to a school that was predominately white, so I was missing that community because I grew up with a very large Hispanic community,” Ramos said.
Ramos found LSU at a BSU club fair and knew she needed to be a part of it. She explained how she met most of her best friends through this organization.
“It’s a big community where I can impact other people as well as myself.” Ramos has been a part of the executive team for LSU for a couple of years now.
Ramos is not the only person who has been impacted by this organization. Noelia Arichavala, a junior, is the President of LSU this year. She talks about how LSU can affect others in a similar way.
“If anyone on campus is feeling isolated, or you just need somewhere to be, LSU is definitely the place to be,” said Arichavala.
