The Center was created at SUU in the spring of 2007. Our current goals and objectives include:
We are excited to kick off the spring 2010 semester!
The Hispanic Center Tutor Project is currently seeking SUU students who would like to volunteer as tutors working with English Language Learners. We serve in Iron County elementary, middle and high schools. This semester, we are also going to Iron County Even Start and the Iron County Adult Education Program.
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 January 13, 2010.
Come practice your Spanish.
