Special Events

On September 23 at 4:00 in Escalante 257 we will be hosting an Open House for students to come and meet Spanish faculty and current Spanish majors and minors. We will start with a brief presentation by the Spanish faculty regarding the majors, minor, and bilingual certificate. This will be followed by games and food. We hope to see you there. 

Profesora Sofía León will be discussing this intriguing festival, followed by games and fun with Pura Vida. 

Come learn about this beautiful holiday! Traditional food will be provided. 

Every semester students from all levels of Spanish join to compete in various competitions. This semester's events will take place on November 18, beginning at 6:00 in Houston 138 and 139, where students from FLAS 304 will present skits. This will be followed by competition for FLAS 111, 112, and 211 students. 

Your instructor will give you instructions as we closer to the night of the events. At that time, ONE member of your group will sign up for your desired event. 

We had the honor of hosting the Chilean poet Jesús Sepúlvedad, who shared some of his poetry followed by students reading poetry together. It was an amazing event and so grateful that Dr. Sepúlveda would help us celebrate World Book Day. 

 The author Antonio J. Ceballos Barracán made his first visit to the United States to present his acclaimed book La casa del francés at Colorado Mesa University and other local venues. Antonio is also one of the professors who teaches our students during our study abroad trips to the Universidad de Córdoba.

Here is his presentation at Colorado Mesa University, recording done by Mass Communication Students.
