Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to join Voices of the Americas, the UNC campus and community-wide collaboration to present a variety of events focused on a single theme.

Voices of the Americas events include a wide variety of activities for students, adults, children, and families. These activities provide participants with an opportunity to experience and explore issues about and celebrations of the diversity of cultures, languages, traditions, and people who are part of the ever changing reality of the Americas. These programs are intended to bring forward a range of perspectives on "Voices of the Americas." We hope that this project will unfold the complexity of cultural traditions in the western hemisphere from a wide range of viewpoints.
