At Penn State, our partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean are central to our strategic goal of creating regional networks that address global issues with a local perspective. These collaborations foster long-term engagement, nurturing transformative and equitable partnerships that provide a welcoming environment and new opportunities for today’s international students and scholars. 

Through impactful projects in the region, Penn State is developing a network that enables faculty, students, and staff to engage with and learn about critical issues in our hemisphere. We are committed to partnerships that advance mutual goals. Together with our international partners, we aim to enhance teaching, enrich learning experiences, expand research and scholarship, and strengthen service and outreach initiatives.
