La Casa Hispánica
Overview
La Casa Hispánica hosts many cultural activities during the academic year, including weekly informal "cafecitos" with the language scholars, movie nights, poetry readings, potluck dinners for students and department faculty, dance performances, and concerts. These activities provide an opportunity for students across the college to enjoy many aspects of Hispanic culture as they practice their Spanish language skills in an informal setting.
In addition, La Casa is a residence hall for two department language scholars (graduate students from Spain and Argentina), an HA, and 16 麻豆国产AV students, who wish to consolidate their language skills and further explore Hispanic culture. More information on La Casa.
Language Scholars
Essential members of the Spanish department, our two language scholars (one from Argentina and one from Spain) live with students in the Casa hispánica and provide cultural expertise in planning activities. In addition, the Language scholars lead weekly "conversation groups" for students enrolled in the first- and second-year language classes and are available for consultation for all students.

¡Buenas! My name is Santi, and I am from Barcelona. I studied Literary Theory and
Comparative Literature at the Universidad de Barcelona. You can tell that I love reading!
I’m fascinated both by stories and by what stories are made of, which means a little bit
of everything… philosophy, anthropology, history… and, of course, Spanish language!
