Latin X/Hispanic Students

Sonoma State is determined to be an institute of diversity, equity, and inclusion and it extends to the Latin X community as well other communities on campus. Latin X/ Hispanic Students make up 37.93% (more than 1/3)(as of Fall 2020) of the student population (Male 957 /Female 2,002). There is course curriculum, clubs and organizations, teaching staff, support, and resources available to the Latin X community which you can find here on this webpage. We hope that through these resources this can help you, the student, further your education, inclusivity, betterment, and eventual graduation here at Sonoma State.
