A Note from Carlos Mora '29

"As a student from Costa Rica, I have found in HOLA a space to share my culture while also connecting with other students from different Latino backgrounds. HOLA is more than just a club—it is a community where we can celebrate our cultures, traditions and experiences while making others feel welcome. By supporting HOLA, you are helping us create cultural events and experiences that bring students together and make Latino culture more visible and celebrated at St. Thomas. Thank you for making a gift today!"
