USF Inducts Fifty Students in San Alberto Hurtado Latino Honor Society

The University of St. Francis (USF) San Alberto Hurtado Latino Honor Society (LHS) inducted 44 undergraduate students and six graduate students into the society on March 17, 2023.

The San Alberto Hurtado Latino Honor Society was founded in 2014 to recognize academic achievement of Latino students at USF. The purpose of LHS is to encourage Latino students to promote service to the Latino community, promote academic excellence, and the Latino culture both on and off campus.

“It has been wonderful seeing the great growth LHS has experienced in recent years, now having over 100 active members at USF. This growth has allowed LHS to focus on using such a large group of bright students to have a positive impact on USF and the Joliet community.” says President, Sebastian Mireles.

Taking part in the Latino Honor Society is a great opportunity for members to connect with other Latino students through their mentor program, hosting events on campus to promote the society, volunteering at Joliet’s Spanish

Community Center and more to get members involved in the Latino community.

LHS honored their graduating members during the cords ceremony on Friday, April 21. And will be closing out the semester with a Study Night on Wednesday, April 26 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Moes Room.
