Political Quotes

“Mr. President, today I am proud to honor the 50th anniversary of the Center of Latin American Studies at the University of Kansas. The Center was founded in 1961 to equip KU students to face the political, economic, sociological and geographical realities of our world and, 50 years later, that vision continues. KU's strong ties to the University of Costa Rica have continued, and the Center's connections have expanded in Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. The Center provides students with advanced language and area studies training, including opportunities for study and research abroad. The Center provides the education and experience Kansans need in order to pursue successful, satisfying careers as teachers, scholars, and business and government professionals in the 21st century. I want to congratulate the Center of Latin American Studies for its 50 years of commitment to building strong international relations with Latin America for the benefit of Kansas and the nation. ____________________”
