Our Lady of the Lake University continues to strengthen its commitment to academic excellence, cultural preservation, and community engagement with the expansion of Mexican American Studies on campus.
As part of this effort, the university is integrating the Center for Mexican American Studies and Research into broader academic and student programs, creating greater opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration.
Additionally, important archival materials will be moved into the university library, improving accessibility for students, faculty, and the public while supporting the long-term preservation of these invaluable cultural resources.
This initiative reflects OLLU’s mission as a Hispanic-Serving Institution—honoring the rich history and contributions of Mexican American communities while fostering new pathways for research, learning, and engagement.
