About the Center

By supporting scholarly and academic programs, The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies attempts to bring together the university students, staff, and faculty, with the Latino community and the New Orleans community at large. We use a multifaceted effort to increase interdisciplinary educational experiences and promote the active engagement of the university with the worlds around it and to build from and promote the spread of Jesuit values through the global community.

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies supports Loyola’s role as a leading comprehensive university in the southern tier of the country and is a symbol of Loyola's continued efforts to strengthen it ties to the city, surrounding region, and hemisphere.
