HERMANAS UNIDAS

A Collaboration

Hermanas Unidas is a collaborative initiative that is designed to help support the continued success of MIT's Latina women grad and undergrad students, staff, faculty, and post-docs. The group is for transgender women, cisgender women, and non-binary women.

Hermanas Unidas at MIT will help you find a community of mentors and peers to support you throughout your journey here. Hermanas Unidas hopes to build bridges between undergrads and graduate Latina students at MIT as well as forge a lasting connection with Latina faculty and staff who have longer term institutional knowledge, and many more years of experience with both struggle and success. Making these connections with a larger Latina community at MIT ultimately builds a more supportive community for all Latinas at MIT.

Hermanas Unidas builds community for Latina women at MIT.

Mujeres Latinas and WGS are working together to create an initiative that will bring together Latinas across MIT campus (grad and undergrad, staff, and faculty) to create a supportive, enduring, and inspiring community. Will you join us in envisioning and expanding the reach of this initiative?

As a Latina at MIT, becoming a part of Mujeres Latinas gave me my first glimpse into the type of community I longed for during my time here, but it was largely a community of peers. What has been a harder struggle has been finding a community of mentors to guide and support my journey as a young person at MIT, just launching into adulthood. Through this initiative, we hope to build bridges between undergrads and graduate Latina students at MIT as well as forge a lasting connection with Latina faculty and staff who have longer term institutional knowledge, and many more years of experience with both struggle and success to share with us and help guide us. Making these connections with a larger Latina community at MIT ultimately builds a more supportive community for all Latinas at MIT. We hope you will become a part of this initiative as we move forward with our inaugural gathering this Spring!

Hermanas Unidas will be governed by a board.
