Spanish Activities and Organizations

Our Spanish students, faculty, and student workers form a strong and close-knit learning community that fosters relationships with related groups across campus. 

All of the organizations provide leadership opportunities and the chance to form relationships with faculty and students that share your curiosity and interests, whether they be improving your oral proficiency, exploring the cultures of Latin America and Spain, fostering close social bonds with others interested in Latinx identity, or delving into scholarly topics over literature and culture.  Here are some of the organizations that interest Spanish students:

 

Spanish Club

The Spanish Club meets weekly to polish their verbal communication skills with informal conversation, restaurant date nights, Skype nights with friends they have made abroad, and other cultural activities.
