<Title>Student Org Spotlight : UMBC HLSU</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>We are an organization that welcomes anyone interested in the culture, food, language, etc. You do not have to be Hispanic in order to be a member of this club. Our goal is to ultimately create a family within our club between our general body members and our executive board. During our general body meetings we participate in activities where we can interact with one another and range from sharing our cultures, telling stories, getting to know each other better through fun games and staying up to date on current events that can impact the Hispanic community. Under normal circumstances, our club holds two main events: El Encuentro and La Reunion. El Encuentro is a formal event  held in the fall in the UC Ballroom and there is a live performance, a DJ, food and dancing. La Reunion is a casual event held in the spring on Commons Terrace which has a DJ and appetizers. HLSU is a great space to feel welcomed, create strong friendships and have fun!</span></div>
