The Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP) will hold a Program
Directors Meeting on November 8-9, 1996, at UCLA. This will be a "working"
meeting at which program-related issues will be discussed with the aim of in-
creasing the extent to which Latin American Studies programs share information
and resources.

The tentative program includes discussion sessions on THE FUTURE OF AREA
STUDIES, ORGANIZING AND PROVIDING OUTREACH SERVICES, COOPERATIVE LANGUAGE PRO-
GRAMS, AND ORGANIZING A LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM.

This meeting will address the interests of all Latin American Studies programs,
regardless of size. The CLASP Steering Committee especially encourages program
directors at 2 and 4-year colleges, as well as interested Latin Americanists at
schools that may not have a formal Latin American Studies program, to attend.

Registration materials for the conference will be mailed in late August. In
the meantime, for more information, please contact ELIZABETH MAHAN, Center for
Latin American & Caribbean Studies, University of Connecticut, 843 Bolton Road,
Storrs, CT 06269-1161; lamsadm@uconnvm.uconn.edu.
