Our Vision & Mission
Vision Statement

CBS also partners with local schools to discuss and create action plans that address critical issues of bilingual education and bilingualism as they impact children, schools, families, and communities of South Texas and beyond. CBS’s work supports UTRGV’s goal of becoming a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate university.
