While we always appreciate monetary donations, there are other ways to give back to the Center! Our alumni have invaluable expertise and experience to share with our students. If you’re a Center alum interested in student engagement or mentorship, learn more about ways to contribute to the Center.
Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of Latin American Studies, our alumni are spread across the world, in a wide range of fields and industries. Each one has a unique story of how Latin American Studies and their education at the Center shaped them. We interview our alumni regularly to learn more about how Latin American Studies supports career, intellectual, and personal development.
Each year, we recognize two of our alumni by awarding the Outstanding Young Alumni Award and the Lifetime Achievement Alumni Award. The awards honor Center alumni whose achievements positively reflect the goals, principles, and philosophy of the Center and the field of Latin American Studies.
Our Alumni Board is composed of alumni who have focused on Latin America during their studies or in their professional careers after graduating from UF. The Board serves to cultivate relationships between our alumni and the Center, strengthen the Center’s programming, raise the profile of the Center, and assist in acquiring the resources needed to accomplish those goals.
Donations to the Center help strengthen our academic programs by funding scholarships and enhancing the quality of research, teaching and outreach in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino studies at the University of Florida. Your gifts will not only provide financial support for our students but will also help enhance the quality of teaching at the Center.
