Cosponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) Latino Student Organization (LaSO) and the Office of Admissions, this program is designed as an overnight outreach program aimed at the recruitment of Latino students from the Philadelphia area and
surrounding communities. The purpose of the program is to not only enroll high-achieving Latino students, but also to educate them on many opportunities that going to college can provide to them. This program is connected to an IUP Open House event
