University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States

UCMEXUS maintains the primary mission of developing and sustaining a coordinated, university-wide approach to Mexico-related studies. The Institute's broad objectives are: to increase the quantity, visibility, and effectiveness of Mexico-United States projects in the University; to strengthen and develop research, exchange problems, and teaching; to support and coordinate interdisciplinary and inter-campus projects; to enable collaborative approaches by UC and Mexican scholars to the issues which affect both nations; to act as a source of information about university-sponsored United States-Mexico activities; to develop new sources for support of research and instructional programs; and to promote a better understanding between two countries.
