Structure
The B3 Institute engages all Colleges in course development and works strategically with the Center for Bilingual Studies (CBS), the Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS), and the Translation and Interpreting Office (T&iO) to pursue UTRGV’s mission, vision, and core priorities.
The Center for Bilingual Studies is an interdisciplinary program that brings together faculty from colleges across the university to collaborate on research and other learning initiatives that explore bilingual families and communities across the region.
The Center for Mexican American Studies focuses on research and other community based learning initiatives related to the historical and contemporary experiences of the Mexican community.
The Translation and Interpreting Office works to translate UTRGV materials such as the official university website, faculty research, and an array of other documents. The office also provides interpreting services (English<>Spanish) for public events.
