Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez, asesor de La Sociedad Hispánica

El 31 de octubre de 2007 la Sociedad Hispánica organizó un “altar” para celebrar el “Día de muertos”; a la celebración se unieron profesores y alumnos del Departamento de Lenguas Modernas y de otras áreas. Más recientemente la Sociedad realizó el “Hispanic Luncheon Feast”, donde los asistentes degustaron platillos típicos del mundo hispánico. Este último acontecimiento también sirvió de marco para presentar el nuevo formato de solicitud de ingreso (inglés-español) y para invitar a los alumnos a unirse al grupo. Para el ciclo académico 2008-2009 la organización planea convocar a elecciones, realizar una visita guiada a las instalaciones de UNIVISIÓN, iniciar una gaceta cultural y estrechar más los lazos con la comunidad. –Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez

In the past year, the Spanish Section of Modern Languages has seen the appearance of Delta Beta Kappa: La Asociación Honoraria de Español, a group that is advised by Prof. Dórica Rosado, and which has been hosting some wonderful events and excursions. DBK has a Facebook page on the UTA network and will soon have a page on the Spanish Section Webpage. The group meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at noon in Trimble Hall 218. Recently, Prof. Rosado let us know about the group’s recent activities. We hope that DBK members will send us photographs of some of these exciting activities. –Editors.
