STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES
AT THE CENTER FOR PUERTO
RICAN STUDIES (CENTRO)
Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the
Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest
university-based research institute, library and archive dedicated to the
Puerto Rican experience in the United States. We provide support to
students, scholars, artists, and members of the community at large across
and beyond New York. We produce original research, films, books, and
educational tools and are the home of The Centro Journal—the premiere
academic journal of Puerto Rican Studies. Our aim is to create actionable
and accessible scholarship to strengthen, broaden, and reimagine the field
of Puerto Rican studies.
CENTRO offers a number of educational experiences for
Hunter College and CUNY students. Many are also available
to students from other colleges.
