As a Title VI National Resource Center, the Center for Latin American Studies has a strong dedication to enhancing awareness, knowledge, and engagement with Latin America. One of our key efforts involves reaching out to community college educators in local communities and across the nation. Our goal is to assist and empower educators by offering them various avenues to enrich their understanding of Latin America and integrate this knowledge into their classrooms.
We're committed to creating supportive environments where educators can collaboratively generate, improve, and broaden their grasp of Latin American subjects. Our partnership extends to educators across disciplines. We're here to provide valuable resources that include:
Annual Conference: Globalizing the Community College Curriculum
Community colleges are doing important work, educating a large percentage of post-secondary students to become part of a globalized world. As such, it is vital to internationalize the curricula of community college classes. The conference offers an opportunity to learn from and share with colleagues across community college departments and campuses.
International Studies Partnership Program
This fellowship program supports selected faculty from community colleges in the United States to work collaboratively with colleagues at the University of Arizona main campus on projects to internationalize undergraduate course curricula.
