Organization of Latin American Students

Celebrate Latin American Culture and Community at ECC

The Organization of Latin American Students (OLAS) at Elgin Community College promotes cultural pride, awareness, and unity by highlighting the diverse traditions of Latin America. Through campus events, cultural celebrations, educational activities, and community partnerships, OLAS creates meaningful opportunities for students to learn, connect, and celebrate heritage.

Students of all backgrounds who are interested in Latin American culture are welcome to join. Whether you want to explore cultural identity, make new friends, or engage in leadership and service, OLAS provides a supportive and inclusive community where everyone can feel at home.
