CLALS

American University is a Methodist-affiliated institution chartered by Congress in 1893. An answer to George Washington's call to create a national university in the nation's capital, American University was designed to train public servants for the future, a vision it still holds to this day... American University is led by Sylvia M. Burwell, our 15th and first female president. The University's governance is directed by the Board of Trustees and senior university administrators... CLALS disseminates its research and shares knowledge about Latin America and Latino communities through distinct public engagement strategies. These include a popular series of working papers, as well as public events featuring decision-makers, artists, and other thought leaders. CLALS also maintains the AULA Blog, which presents concise yet impactful reflections on topics relating to our mission, penned by a diverse set of authors.
