Welcome to the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As classes continue, we will continue to make the health and safety of the entire CLS familia our top priority. Our staff will be in their offices regularly once classes start this Spring and can also meet with students remotely. Contact advisor Rachelle Eilers via email or Starfish to make an appointment. CLS Library materials are available to UW-Madison and community patrons, and the CLS Library and Academic Resource Center will be open to the public 8:30am to 4:30pm this Spring. Hours during the winter interim may vary. Contact Administrator Peter Haney for reference questions. We plan to hold CLS Community Gatherings at the end of September. Watch for news about other events and co-curricular programming as the year progresses. For updates on building access and safety measures, check the University’s COVID-19 response page. ¡Cuídense mucho! We hope to see you soon.
