IV. PLANS FOR THE COMING YEAR:

establishing a third tenure track position in Spanish;
ensuring that the new faculty are able to settle in and teach well at STU;
peer mentoring faculty in Spanish;
the daily running of the department (text book orders, teaching schedules, part time hiring etc).

Spanish 3313 Advanced Reading 1 (20 students)

SCHOLARSHIP AND CREATIVITY:

I will be attending less academic conferences this year as there continues to be minimal financial support for my research.
