The Friends of Latin America is an organization that aims at increasing the awareness of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America to the BSC community through promoting further studies of the region's culture, economy, environment, history, and politics. All students who demonstrate a desire to become a member of FOLA are considered for membership.
Associate membership is open to faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni.
No dues are necessary. One of FOLA's most popular activities is Guad Night, held one Wednesday a month at the Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant. Additionally, FOLA sponsors academic and cultural programs such as Dia de Hispanidad and provides volunteers for the annual Latin American Studies Symposium.
