Student Testimonials

“Having a minor in this program means that you get to have an amazing selection of what classes you can take and have amazing instructors who want to see you succeed! One of my biggest takeaways from some of my courses is how much I learned about my own communities and what makes us so unique and special. I was able to broaden my perspectives and be pushed out of my comfort zone in a positive way. I was able to grow and expand my knowledge to better understand the world and how we can work together!”

“I found out about this minor during my first year at ISU as a transfer student. As a Spanish Teacher Education major, I think that this minor complements the major well and helps in becoming a well-rounded future educator in the Spanish-speaking world. I have many Latin American and Latino/A friends and their passion for their heritage has instilled a passion within me. In addition, I have relatives from Argentina who I have never met before and I think by having this minor I can connect to them culturally, socially, and politically. To have a minor in this program means that I can become more culturally aware about what is happening in Latin American cultures.”
