The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) promotes awareness of and teaching on Latin America across an array of disciplines both within Harvard University and to outside audiences. In addition to support for faculty and students in research and courses, DRCLAS reaches beyond the University, promoting learning about the region to elementary, middle and high school teachers and students as well as the community at-large. Activities have included:

Faculty support for interdisciplinary research
Curriculum development
Courses in less commonly taught languages (Haitian Creole, Nahuatl, Yucatec Maya and Portuguese)
School field trips to Harvard’s museums with Latin America- related collections
Teacher training workshops
Summer School course for teachers
