The Center was created at SUU in the spring of 2007. Our current goals and objectives include:
We are excited to kick off the 2009-2010 academic year! We are in the process of moving into a new space in Room 175 of the Sharwan Smith Center.
The Hispanic Center Tutor Project, now in its sixth semester, is currently seeking SUU students who would like to volunteer to serve as tutors working with English Language Learners in Iron County Schools.
The Hispanic Center Interpreters Club is made up of students who are fluent in both English and Spanish. Club members volunteer locally. This year, we will interpret in local schools during parent-teacher conferences. Our goal is to help individuals while providing a new link between the community of Cedar City and SUU. Dr. Rachel Kirk is the advisor. Email kirk@suu.edu for more information or to get involved.
A weekly conversation hour, Encuentros is an opportunity for English and Spanish language practice with native speakers of both languages in a casual setting. It is free and open to all SUU students, faculty and staff and the local community. We start again September 9, 2009.
Come practice your Spanish.
