Cambio Center Agenda - the Arrival of a Second Decade
The Cambio Center turns 10 this October! After ten years of
research and outreach, mostly linked to the incorporation of Latino
immigrants into Missouri communities, the Center is engaging its
stakeholders and fellows in discussing plans and goals for the
upcoming decade. These discussions will help shape the future of the
Center and contribute to its success. We encourage participation from
all interested.
To be involved in the development of our Agenda for the Second Decade, contact cambio@missouri.edu
