Through focused initiatives, the Center will lead national debates on issues of public importance and shape the next generation of leaders who will address these issues. The Center’s initiatives are enhanced by the vibrant University community and its location in the capital city of a populous, diverse and politically important state.
Initiatives
Hispanic Leadership
As the number of Hispanic Americans in the United States grows, so too does its potential for the group to have commensurate growth in political power. The Center examines this trend and its implications from both academic and practical perspectives.
State Politics and Policy
With a host of resources, including research tools and state politics and policy experts, the Center is a vital source of information for policymakers in Texas. The Center studies, conducts analysis and facilitates the success of Texas state policy and politics through a broad range of state-specific programs.
