Residency Programs
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center offers two residency programs for graduate students and community members.
LACS invites you to be part of our dynamic residency programs tailored for graduate students and community members. The Graduate Residency Program invites UMD graduate students passionate about Latin America or the Caribbean to showcase their research through engaging talks or workshops during a semester-long program. For community members, our Community Resident Affiliate (CRA) Program offers an enriching partnership, fostering collaboration and contributing to the vibrant cultural dialogue at the LACS Center. Join us in promoting global cultural competence within the diverse tapestry of UMD's community.
