Student Research: Each year CLAS funds graduate students conducting research throughout Latin America. This financial support has helped students conduct field research crucial to developing global expertise. Research has resulted in the publication of policy papers and students have gone on to receive important recognition for their work.

CLAS Program: We continue our unique emphasis on connecting policymakers in the Americas with our network of Latin Americanist students and faculty. Our program of events provides students and the Berkeley community with an unprecedented opportunity to complement their academic study with ongoing developments in the region.

We invite you to support our core mission by making a contribution to the CLAS Annual Fund. Annual fund dollars support student grants, visiting scholars, and a vibrant program including academics, artists, political and social leaders to the University of California, Berkeley.
