Welcome to the Chican@ & Latin@ Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As classes continue this Summer, we will make the health and safety of the entire CLS familia our top priority. Our staff will be in their offices regularly and can also meet with students remotely. Contact advisor Rachelle Eilers via email or Starfish to make an appointment. The CLS Library and Academic Resource Center will be open to the public 8:30am to 4:30pm this Spring. Contact Administrator Peter Haney for reference questions. Weekly CLS Community Gatherings will return in the Fall, along with virtual “Dígame” counseling sessions with UHS’s Jeff Hird. 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.
