Established at the onset of President Robbins’ administration in 2017 to identify institutional priorities for engagement in Mexico, the Mexico Initiatives Advisory Board is comprised of the following leaders and deans representing colleges, departments and units from across campus that have significant engagement in Mexico, as well as representation from valued community partners UNAM and the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson. The Mexico Initiatives Advisory Board collectively provides direction and guidance and allows for a collaborative approach to setting the institutional agenda for growing the University's relationship with Mexico. The Mexico Initiatives Advisory Board meets on a monthly basis during the academic year with a hiatus during the summer months. For additional information about the Mexico Initiatives Advisory Board, please contact Assistant Vice President for Mexico and Latin America, Justin Dutram at jdutram@arizona.edu.
