Supports both Visiting Lecturers and Visiting Scholars who add to the already vibrant community of Latin Americanists on campus, and provide opportunities for outreach to the community. Is a member of the Wisconsin International Outreach Consortium (WIOC), which allows us to work collaboratively with other area studies programs to perform outreach to the community, K-12 teachers, post-secondary institutions, and Wisconsin businesses.
