By sharing resources between the two universities, the Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University brings to both universities and the surrounding communities a number of initiatives designed to foster interest in Latin America among students, faculty, and local citizens. As one of the 14 Title VI National Resource Centers in Latin American Language and Area Studies, the Consortium provides many resources that significantly enrich our curriculum: dramatically enlarged language and area studies course offerings, increase library adquisitions, and an expanded outreach program for the mid-south region.

The outreach component of the program includes activities regarding public schools, post-secondary education, Annual Latin American Film Festival, business and media, lending library, Day of the Dead Exhibit, and the Consortium of Latin American and Caribbean Studies Programs (CLASP).
