"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Today, April 16, 2013 the English Department of UPRH is celebrating a very special moment for us as a faculty. One of our colleagues has obtained his doctorate degree in Education with a specialization in Curriculum and Teaching. His dissertation is titled "Using Cooperative Learning Strategies to Enhance Students’ Writing Skills in a Business English Course”. This work presents a new paradigm in the way educators should approach the way Business English writing courses should be taught to facilitate the successful acquisition of the communication skills that Business student need to be successful in their professional facet.
We celebrate this moment not only because obtaining a doctorate degree is an important step in a person's professional goals, but because our colleague has excelled beyond the walls of this academic achievement. He is a colleague who has supported the projects our Department has established and looked for ways to collaborate in making them possible. He has participated actively within our Department as well as institutional committees. He has coordinated the INCO (Business English) component and has dedicated much of his professional career to this academic area.
As a professor, he has won the appreciation and admiration of his students for he is always looking for ways that his students acquire the knowledge needed to be successful and obtain their academic goals. His compromise for his students has been proven to be authentic throughout these years.
And in our Library Committee, he has been a member that has supported and collaborated during these years in achieving the goals set by the members. No matter the tasks assigned, many times with his agenda completely compromised with his work and studies, he has looked for ways to collaborate with these activities so the end result has been a successful moment for our committee.
We congratulate Dr. Artemio Peñalbert for this new stage in his life. We wish you and your family happiness, success and blessings.
