Department of Spanish Mission
The Spanish language is more than words; it’s the living story of over 500 million people around the world. By connecting our students to the language and the vibrant cultures of this global community, our program helps them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their worldview, and humanity. The Department of Spanish at Wake Forest empowers students to become global citizens through the development of language skills, cultural and linguistic analysis, and intercultural competence. We offer students diverse opportunities to engage with the Spanish language, including a wide range of courses, concentrations, research, internships, and study abroad. Whether students want to communicate with clients, friends, or their abuela, we help them get there–not just with words, but with true human connection and understanding.
We say goodbye to September with our first #FacultySpotlight this academic year. Hit play and meet Tiffany Judy, Professor and Chair of the Department of Spanish! /
Despedimos septiembre con nuestro primer #FacultySpotlight del curso. ¡Dale al play y conoce a Tiffany Judy, Professor y Chair del Departamento de Español!
