We are delighted to announce that one of our students, Dejanira Castillejos, won the $200 Provost’s Award at the March 28, UT Arlington Aces Conference. Dejanira won the award for a presentation she prepared on Latin American literature and gender. The Department encourages all of its students, whether undergraduate or graduate, to participate in this invaluable conference and compete for academic honors. Presenting at academic conferences is an important component of a student’s intellectual, personal and professional development. Dejanira’s previous honors include being a McNair Scholar and winning a photography award in Modern Languages. Dejanira is presently applying to the Master’s Program in Modern Languages where she plans to continue to deepen her knowledge and appreciation of literature and linguistics.
