Conference Library

The Cambio de Colores library features selected research and best practices papers on the integration of Latino and immigrant newcomers in new destinations. This resource is created by a community of practice and made available as a tool for all people who are members of, work in, and lead changing communities. With the latest research findings, the sharing of experiences, and the exchange of ideas, this interdisciplinary library is made available free, as part of the university's land grant mission.
