The goal of the Language and Culture Resource Center is to expand community partnerships and bridge local boundaries between the Hispanic community and the American population of the area. Because of the recent growth in the Hispanic population, we see the need to increase awareness and understanding of diversity and to involve the university faculty and students in hands-on, community-based learning experiences. Our efforts bring together people from every age and background, to share our cultural strengths and our humanity as we work toward the acculturation of the American and Hispanic communities.
