Graduate

The ILS is proud to support the work of graduate students at Notre Dame. We do this through facilitating dialogue among graduate students and offering networking opportunities with academics and other professionals, in addition to providing funding opportunities. 

One of our marquee initiatives is the Graduate Working Group, which periodically convenes graduate students at Notre Dame working in Latino Studies to discuss their work.

And through Letras Latinas, our literary initiative, graduate are instrumental as interviewers in the Letras Latinas Oral History Project, in addition to delivering the formal introductions at events that feature visiting poets and writers.

ILS is also proud to offer the Joseph Gaia Distinguished Fellowships in Latino Studies in partnership with The Graduate School. We also offer conference funding on a case-by-case basis.

In 2024, ILS co-sponsored STEM workshops in Chicago for middle school students as well as for local 8th-12th grade students put on by Notre Dame's Latinx Graduate Association.
