A strong spirit of collaboration with other University and community organizations has allowed the Latino Research Center to prepare and contribute to projects that directly affect the Latinx community. Research being the most important element, will bring information and data that will help policy makers and the community at large to understand the needs and the unique characteristics of the Latinx community.
Through these collaborations, the LRC expects to contribute to a more tolerant environment in all aspects of the daily lives of the people of Nevada, as well as the whole country. In addition, the LRC hopes to open new channels of communication and strengthening said channels with valuable data and information that will ultimately demonstrate the importance of the roles Latinos play in our society.
