Support Student Research through the
Cambio Center Research Fund
The Cambio Center Research Fund is used to support graduate student
research on Latinos and immigrants. As friends
of the Cambio Center know, the research
agenda of the Cambio Center focuses on applied
research designed to improve community
well-being by better understanding and
supporting the integration of newcomers and
immigrants. Students work in partnership with
an expert faculty member during a semester,
with clear goals for outputs and results. All
funds raised will go directly towards
supporting the research efforts of these
students.
