Program announced during Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s historic visit to Mexico
DALLAS (SMU) – SMU’s John Goodwin Tower Center for Political Studies is launching an ambitious new program to research and promote policy-based discussion on the economic, political and social ties between Mexico and Texas.
The program is made possible through a $1 million gift from GRUMA-Mission Foods, a Mexican corporation with global reach headquartered in Dallas. The program is designed to elevate the frequently fractured conversations about and between Texas and Mexico, creating a platform that examines shared issues through a policy lens. Plans include:
- Texas-Mexico research, grants, reports and white papers
- Binational and bilingual annual conferences
- Academic seminars and public forums
