WELCOME

The Special Office for Latin American Initiatives (SOLAI), under the Vice Presidency for Student, at The University of New Mexico (UNM) has as its mission to be a bridge of opportunities for students, professors, researchers, and administrators of Latin American governments and institutions of higher education.  These opportunities are in relation to higher education and professional excellence.

SOLAI, through innovative strategies and with a complete non-profit bridge program, connects university and scientific communities from Latin America with prestigious academic and research programs at UNM, which is considered by the Carnegie Foundation as a university of intensive and advance research.

We welcome you to UNM, an institution of excellence for the Americas.
