The geographic proximity of the campuses—just nine miles apart—greatly encourages and facilitates regular collaboration among faculty and students. The Carolina and Duke Consortium has received major funding from the Andrew W. Mellon, Ford, and Tinker Foundations. Since 1991 it has been designated a Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) by the U.S. Department of Education. The Consortium's goals are to enhance the Latin American and Caribbean curriculum on the two campuses, provide ample research and training opportunities for students and faculty from all disciplines, and stimulate public awareness of the importance and richness of Latin American and Caribbean cultures and traditions.
