Inspire the Next Generation

As a Spanish teacher, I am able to expose students to important histories, authors, and cultures that hopefully spark something special inside of my students’ minds and their own educational journeys."

Pursue Your Own Path

You cannot separate a language from life and the particularities of the world that are unique. Nor can you separate it from the times and communities we live in. I have used Spanish in almost every single job that I have had and in a variety of settings."

Discovering What Spanish and Psychology Have in Common

Shortly after Jocelyn Caballero ‘17 arrived at USF — a first-gen college student and native Spanish speaker majoring in Psychology — she quickly realized that she not only missed speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish, but also found a deficit in her skills. At first, she decided to take a few Spanish classes for both pleasure and retention. Jocelyn became so immersed that she decided to add Spanish Studies as a second major and hasn't looked back.
