The Facts:

SALSA has been spicing up campus for the past 25 years by spreading awareness of cultural, social, and educational knowledge of Hispanic culture through events, such as Tropicana, Latino Heritage Month, and Day of the Dead. SALSA is comprised of two additional groups, SALSEROS and SALSITA. SALSEROS is a performance dance group. The sizzling sounds of Merengue, Bachata and Salsa fill the air when they present campus with the opportunity to learn steps of Latino dances during their event, Bailamos. SALSITA, a junior e-board for SALSA comprised of first year students and freshmen, is a group responsible for events, one of which is the SALSITA fashion show in the spring, in which the proceeds go to charity.
