CILAS Designated National Resource Center
We are pleased to announce that the San Diego Consortium for Latin
American Studies has again been designated a National Resource Center
(NRC) in Latin American Studies by the U.S. Department of Education
(USDE). The prestigious award provides over $1 million funding for
the four-year period beginning in Fall 2006.
The consortium is a partnership between the Latin American Studies
Center at San Diego State University (SDSU) and the Center for Iberian
and Latin American Studies (CILAS) at UC San Diego.
Title VI grants are competitively awarded for research and language
training on specific world regions. Title VI grant funds are allocated
to expand curricular offerings, host visiting professors, conduct
K-12 teacher training and other outreach programs, organize public
conferences among other activities. Additionally the grant funds
fellowships for Foreign Language and Area Study (FLAS) for the academic
year as well as summer language study fellowships.
During the previous grant cycle, among the many outreach events,
including international conferences and lectures, CILAS also earmarked
funds to bring three Latin American Visiting Professors and began
teaching Zapotec, an indigenous language of Southern Mexico.
CILAS would like to thank the Latin Americanist faculty for their
willingness to contribute to the program.
