Alumni Groups

Latino Alumni Association of Tufts University
Third Annual Latino Alumni Gathering in New York City

Description: Join the LAATU, a chapter of the Tufts University Alumni Association, for the third annual Latino Alumni Gathering in New York City. Visit the neighborhoods of Hamilton Heights and Inwood for a day that begins with a chance to give back to the community. We’ll be volunteering at the Columbia University Head Start Street Fair, an event coordinated by the parents of children participating in the early childhood program. Opportunities to assist will range from set-up to face painting and pony rides. 

Later we’ll head up to Inwood to meet with local graffiti artist, historian, and publisher Alain Maridueña (a.k.a Alan Ket). We will observe the creation of his new mural and learn more about his work promoting hip hop and graffiti culture. Finally we'll finish off this day of service and culture with a reception at Mamajuana Café.
