The CLAS Staff promote the mission of the Center and design programming to enhance students' classroom curriculum.
The CLAS Student Ambassadors represent the Center on campus and help the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs in connecting with undergraduate students by conducting class visits, hosting informational events, and working on projects throughout the academic year that further the Center's mission.
Each year, the Center for Latin American Studies hosts Visiting Faculty members and Scholars from across the globe to teach courses, conduct research, and engage CLAS initiatives.
