El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlán (MEChA is an organization that supports the exploration of Chicano culture, works to recruit Chicano students to Penn, and also works with the Penn community to build dialogue across campus and build a social consciousness within the Latino community.

MEChA is a student organization at Penn whose primary activities revolve around cultural exploration, not only around Chicano/Mexican-American culture, but Latina/o culture, Meso-American culture, history, and dialogue on issues varying from race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, and many other areas. We continue working on campus to build dialogue and partnership throughout Penn’s campus.
