About Us

The Merage School Latinx Initiative is a community focused on building awareness, and providing inclusive programming around our Latinx Business leaders, students, alumni and key stakeholders in the Orange County and Southern California region.

We seek to provide resources and opportunities to support today and tomorrow’s U.S. Latinx leaders with awareness that Latino-owned businesses are the fastest growing business segment in the United States. Over the last decade, Latino-owned businesses have successfully grown 34% – far more than any other segment in the economy.

With this in mind, our main objectives are to:

Build Community

To connect our Latinx Business community

Awareness

To create awareness of our Latinx community here in Orange County and Southern California

Provide Programming

Develop engaging and meaningful programming that will benefit our school and community

“As secretary of ALPFA this year, I am excited to help create a community where Latinx students can develop themselves as professionals. I hope to create a space where we can have conversations within the Merage School about how we can best support the Latinx community during their time at UCI.”

– Jocelyn Paola Manzo, BA ’23, Secretary
