Pepperdine Spanish Study Spanish & Hispanic Studies in the International Studies & Languages Division of Seaver College

The International Studies and Languages Division offers all levels of Spanish language as well as a Bachelor of Arts and a minor in Hispanic Studies. A major in Hispanic Studies equips students with the skills and knowledge to comprehend, speak, read and write competently in real-life situations in the language. Both oral and written communication are stressed in the Program. A successful Hispanic

Studies major will be able to discuss the literature, culture, history and geography of Spain and Spanish America at a sophisticated level. Additionally, Hispanic Studies majors engage in the analysis of phonetic aspects of the language. The completion of the major is contingent upon an intensive experience in a Spanish-speaking country. The ultimate goal of the Hispanic Studies Program is to foster awareness not just of another language and its culture, but also of the value of human diversity and each student's capacity to serve in light of this awareness.

You are invited to a special event on Monday, March 16, at Wilburn Auditorium: “Honoring the Legacy: A Tribute to Cesar Chavez and Immigrant Workers.”
This is a wonderful joint initiative between the School of Public Policy’s Diversity and Belonging Committee and Seaver College’s Latino Student Alliance. It’s been great seeing our SPP and Seaver students collaborate to bring this together.
We have an incredible panel joining us to discuss immigration and labor rights, and I’m personally very excited about our speakers:
* Rosemary Gutierrez (CHIRLA): It is a special treat to welcome Rosemary back to campus—she is a former student of mine and a proud MPP alumna!
* Oscar Mondragón (Malibu Community Labor Exchange): I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Oscar on several of my community-based projects, and his insights are always invaluable.
* Alejandro Herrera (UFW Foundation): We are also thrilled to have Alejandro join us to share his expertise in research and data within the labor movement.
Event Details:
* When: March 16 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Arrive at 11:30 AM to meet the org reps!)
* Where: Wilburn Auditorium
* Food: Lunch will be provided for everyone who registers! Please use QR Code in the flyer attached to sign up for the event.
