UC-Mexico Initiative
The UC-Mexico Initiative was established by President Janet Napolitano in 2014 to create a sustained, strategic and equal partnership between the UC and institutions in Mexico, in order to address common issues and educate our next generation of leaders. It was designed to provide an opportunity to think broadly and to develop strategies for a robust and enduring relationship that could encompass student and faculty exchanges, celebration of our shared heritage and populations, and research and scholarly activity that solves problems and advances knowledge on issues of mutual importance.
