About
ELAS at UCLA, formerly MEChA de UCLA, is Latine student-initiated, student-run organization aimed at advancing the state of Latine students and community as a whole. Through our various Components, Projects, & Events, ELAS provides community, retention and mentorship services, and advocacy opportunities for Latine students ready to utilize their experiences, their histories, and their ideas to advance the liberation of all marginalized communities, especially those from the regional so-called "Latin America".
The club's own words, from UCLA's directory (2025).
