Mission Statement

The Andes Initiative at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) works to increase the visibility of the countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela at Harvard University through diverse academic programmatic activities. The Initiative aims to enhance collaborative research among Harvard faculty and their counterparts in the Andean region by encouraging faculty and student engagement, and serving as a portal for Andean-related activities for the Harvard community and the public at large.

In 2011-2012 the newly-structured Andes Initiative will explore a wide range of issues affecting this diverse region through a broad array of scholarly seminars, faculty led conferences, film screenings and other events related to the Andean countries across the University.
