At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

Both courses are for the Fall 2012 term and begin the week of September 17, 2012 and end the week of December 8, 2012. They are entitled "Literature 129: United States Latino(a) Literature. Please see below for the course description:

"[The course] explores the trends and movements of various periods of U.S. Latino(a) Literature in relation to U.S. Latino(a) social and culture history.
