As countries worldwide struggle to recover from the profound effects of the recent global financial and economic crisis, Latin America also faces old and new challenges. Some countries demonstrate significant growth, but others continue to lag behind. Some countries are flourishing democracies, while others are hampered by weak institutions of governance. The quality of life for some is improving, while recent calamities in Haiti and Chile remind us of the fragility of these gains. In varying degrees, inequality and poverty persist and environmental, economic and social reforms have often yielded unequal results. As we take pride in the choice of Brazil as the host of the 2016 Olympic Games and celebrate the Academy Award nominations and prizes awarded to Argentine and Peruvian motion pictures, we remain concerned about drugs, violence and the tenuous security that threatens the well-being of the region at large. We also continue to share concerns about trade and development in the region.

In the face of these challenges, the mission of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) remains as important and relevant as it was sixteen years ago when DRCLAS was founded. We are committed to expanding the presence of Latin America at Harvard and to increasing the presence of Harvard in the region in ways that make a positive difference. Our accomplishments in 2009–10 are testimony to this important commitment.

Last year, for example, the Center assisted over 400 Harvard students, either financially or through counsel and advice, to undertake language study, research, study abroad, internships and deep cultural immersion in the region. We supported research by Harvard faculty on themes as diverse as food security in Brazil, archeology in Honduras, state formation in Colombia, Inca identity in Peru and civic culture in the region. DRCLAS sponsored or co-sponsored over 80 events and we are proud that Harvard offered over 160 courses on topics related to Latin America. We continue to be committed to outreach programs that encourage primary and secondary school teachers to introduce their students to Latin America and the Hispanic and Lusophone tradition in the United States.

DRCLAS, now also the Secretariat for the New England Council of Latin American Studies (NECLAS), has also expanded its interaction with scholars, students and institutions in Latin America. We are delighted that Ned Strong will be strengthening our programmatic activities in a number of countries as the new Program Director of the Regional Office in Santiago, Chile. In the past year, DRCLAS increased funding for scholarly exchanges between Harvard and Latin America in the sciences, medicine and technology. The Center’s Visiting Scholars brought insights from , Brazil, Chile, Honduras, and elsewhere and we welcomed 14 academic visitors from .

The wide distribution of our flagship magazine, ReVista, is yet another way we bring Harvard and Latin America together, as are the increasing relationships we continue to forge with alumni in the region. Through all of these activities, and despite the budget constraints of a tight fiscal year, we take pride in the deepening of scholarship, teaching and institutional ties with Latin America. Our mission is to continue to make important advances in these areas and for this important region of the world.
