- Hola Folks,
-
- Me llamo Gilberto y soy el co-chair de La Causa, el grupo Latino de
- Amherst College. I am writing to tell people about a computer mailing list
- which was started last semester to try to foster communication between Latino
- students (as well as other interested people) across the country. The list has
- been relatively successful and has over a hundred subscribers around the world.
- People have used it to share information about social/academic events
- held on college campuses, scholarship and research opportunities for Latino/
- Hispanic students, and current events connected to Latinos, both in the United
- States and in Latin America.
- The intended focus is on issues of concern to Latino students, but
- anyone's input or participation is welcome. The membership is diverse and
- includes people of many different nationalities and occupations. Several members
- have connections with other Latino organizations and computer networks and so
- this list can give its membership access to a wide range of quick, reliable
- information.
- If the list continues to grow, it has the potential to create a large
- network of students accross the country and facilitate the progress of la raza.
- Its strenth depends on an increasing membership who can take advantage of the
- possibilities of electronic communication.
-
- If you are interested in becoming a subscriber to this e-mailing list,
- or if you have comments for thelist administrator, all you have to do is send
- a note to the following address:
-
- LATINO-L-REQUEST@AMHERST.EDU
- and say that you want to join.
-
- While you are subscribed, if you want to send a message to the entire
- membership of the list (like a piece of interesting news, a question you might
- have, an announcement that might benefit Latino students etc.) then write to:
-
- LATINO-L@AMHERST.EDU
-
- In case you are not interested, please forward this file to someone who
- you think might want to participate; in that way, you can at least help the list
- grow and develop.
-
- Hasta Pronto
- -Gilberto
