The Mexico and Central America Program at DRCLAS is committed to deepending engagement with the region through an active program of events and actvities, academic and internship opportunities for students, and support for faculty research.

In 2010-11, over 400 people from around the university community attended twenty seminars over the course of the year. Also, a revitalized Mexico and Central America Program Film Series offered the opportunity to see acclaimed documentary films from and about the region and to engage in lively discussion with their directors. In addition, the Program collaborates with other units of the University and with student organizations  to bring programming on the region to as much of the Harvard community as possible. For instance, the Center worked with the Harvard University Mexican Association of Students (HUMA) to support a number of their events featuring leading public figures from Mexico. DRCLAS also helps to support a working group convened at Harvard Law School by Professor Philip Heymann on transnational organized crime as it affects Mexcio and Central America.
