Program Information

The Department of Central American and Transborder Studies has a tri-fold mission: To empower the large and growing Central American community in the United States by promoting academic excellence, community involvement, and cultural diversity; to open spaces of global citizenship and dialogue between academia and society that contribute to the construction of a Central American transnational identity; and to promote an understanding and appreciation of the diverse Central American cultures, ethnicities, experiences, and worldviews from an interdisciplinary global perspective.

The U100 Central American Experiences section will work with the Department of Central American and Transborder Studies and Por la Casa de la Cultura to receive a guest lecture on the significance of Guatemala's Kite Festival. Participants will learn how to create their own kites, which will be displayed as an exhibit at La Casita. Additionally, they will assist in organizing and promoting a CSUN Kite Festival event in partnership with the Department of Central American and Transborder Studies and Por la Casa de la Cultura.
