In 2016, the UT Southwestern LMSA Chapter organized the first celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month in the institution's history. This month-long celebration includes rich art performances, workshops centered around Latino health, and discussions on cultural awareness and competency. The Hispanic Heritage Month celebration has become a tradition at UT Southwestern, and has hosted many inspiring community leaders who are doing great things for the health and education of the Latino community.

LMSA's 2015-2016 co-president Stephanie Florez-Pollack was an invited speaker to this year's celebration, where she shared LMSA's mission and accomplishments with the institution's highest leaders.
LMSA -Latino Medical Student Association at UT Southwestern Medical School is very proud to be an agent of change and diversity at our institution!!
