The LAST 100: Celebrating a Century of Tulane and Latin America

Join us at Tulane for The LAST100 celebration, a series of events that will explore the history of the Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies and the faculty, students, and staff who have contributed to its rich legacy over the last one hundred years.  The LAST 100 celebration will include exhibitions, panel discussions, and the unveiling of digital resources that document the contributions of Tulane’s Latin Americanists to the world— their publications, their teaching, their MA and PhD graduates, their leadership in area studies, and their service to the region.
