Structure
The B3 Institute includes 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 initiatives that explore bilingual students, families, and communities across the region.
The Center for Mexican American Studies focuses on community programs and other initiatives related to the historical and contemporary experiences of the Mexican American 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.
