"The Digital Divide for Latina Immigrants in Iowa: Status and Recommendations," Aurelio Curbelo, ISU Ag and Life Sciences. His research shows that reducing the digital divide among Latin American female immigrants to urban and rural Iowa can greatly enhance their educational status and increase their English proficiency. Increasing their computer skills would increase economic opportunities and socioeconomic conditions in their communities.

Aurelio Curbelo is interim director of ISU's Ag Multicultural Programs Office and minority liaison officer for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Part of the Research on Latinos in Iowa series sponsored by Latinoamericanos and the Department of Sociology.
