Union Universitaria Latinoamericana (UUL)

Overview

Union Universitaria Latinoamericana (UUL) was developed to promote Latino Culture within Stony Brook and to also advocate for the Latino employees within the Stony Brook setting. With our efforts we have established the Latin American Caribbean Center (LACC) and also spearheaded Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) within Stony Brook.
