Reception

Composed of the University of Albany’s Center for Latino, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies (CELAC), the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, and the Institute for Urban and Minority Education at Columbia University’s Teachers
College, NYLARNet seeks to produce important research into the critical thinking, dialogue, and dissemination of information regarding U.S. Latino issues. It also seeks to provide information services to legislators, public agencies, community organizations, and the media on U.S. Latino affairs, and will pay special attention to the realities and needs of the largely neglected Latino populations throughout New York State and outside of New York City.

 NYLARNet was made possible by a grant from the New York State Legislature.

It was sponsored by Assemblyman Peter Rivera (76th District),

 chair of the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Legislative Task Force.
