About Us
Welcome to the Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) at UTRGV!
Our mission is to celebrate and build upon our region's rich cultural heritage, fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for bilingualism, biculturalism, and biliteracy.
At CMAS, we are dedicated to serving our community through various initiatives that highlight the stories and contributions of Mexican Americans. We believe in the power of education and cultural exchange to bridge gaps and create a more engaged society. Our programs and events are designed to engage students, faculty, and community members in meaningful dialogue and collaboration. We are committed to:
- Promoting Bilingualism: Encouraging the use and appreciation of multiple languages within our community.
- Fostering Biculturalism: Celebrating and integrating diverse cultural practices and perspectives.
- Enhancing Biliteracy: Supporting the development of literacy in multiple languages.
Through our work, we aim to create a vibrant environment where everyone can thrive.
Join us in our efforts to honor our past, enrich our present, and inspire our future. Feel free to reach out to us for more information or to get involved in our programs and events. Together, we can make a difference!
