Strengthening the Capacity to Respond to the New Hispanic South
Core activities focus on mobilizing land-grant faculty to work
collaboratively to better understand the challenges and opportunities associated with the current and future growth of
Hispanics in the rural South; strengthen the research and Extension outreach work being undertaken by our region’s
land-grant university system that addresses the growth of Hispanics in the South; and advance the capacity of the
land-grant
system to lend support to those rural communities that seek to respond to the needs of their growing Hispanic
population in a positive and strategic manner.
