Association of Latin@ American Students
"Somos Mizzou"
Going forward with some new goals, our organization will no longer be called the Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO), but the Association of Latin@ American Students (ALAS)!
Members walk in the 103rd Homecoming Parade wearing traditional dresses and waving flags.
Every fall HALO hosts an orientation to welcome freshmen and transfer students to Mizzou. Current members come together to help new students become more accommodated to the campus.
