chiliLatino Links
Created by Prof. Richard W. Slatta
  • North Carolina's Spanish-speaking population is among the state's fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors. Latinos coming from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean are changing the state's ethnic and cultural mix. As part of its land grant mission, NC State University should play a leading research role in identifying the impact of rapid social change and helping formulate appropriate policy responses. Recommendations for new links are most welcome!
