The Purdue Association for Latin American Business (PLAB) was founded in West Lafayette, IN, in 2023 by a group of dedicated Purdue University students from diverse academic backgrounds, including business, engineering, and the sciences. Driven by a shared passion for promoting Latin American business initiatives, our founders sought to foster professional engagement between Purdue University and the Latin American region.

PLAB aims to serve as a bridge, connecting Purdue’s academic community with Latin American businesses and companies in the region. By leveraging the immense opportunities the area offers, we enrich our members' educational and professional experiences. Our goal is to expand our horizons in understanding management, strategy, and development within the context of Latin American markets.

Our association is committed to providing unique insights into the dynamic business landscape of Latin America. We offer our members unparalleled opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed in an interconnected global economy. Through PLAB, members gain access to valuable resources, networks, and experiences that enhance their academic and professional journeys.
