Linguistics...What's in It for Me?

    On Thursday, October 10, 2013, Sally Delgado graduate student of Caribbean Linguistics of UPR Rio Piedras presented a conference about the opportunities English majors have when pursuing graduate studies in this field.  Her conference was titled "Linguistics...What's in It for Me?".
     This activity was organized by the English BA Coordinator Dr. Artemio Penalbert. This is the first of a series of conferences he is in process of organizing where graduate students, universities professors and other professionals shared how English is a major component in the success of pursing their field of studies or work.  Up to the moment, it has been planned that representatives of the fields of English Literature, Translations and Curriculum will also join UPRH BA students in these talks.
    Twenty-nine persons, mostly BA students attended this conference.  This activity was evaluated as a complete success by those present.  Prof. Delgado's gave an outstanding presentation about research as well as career opportunities.  Many students expressed their interest in Linguistics while others did not imagine how many possibilities this field provides for their academic and professional development.
     The Library Committee wishes to congratulate Dr. Penalbert for organizing such an outstanding activity.  Students are looking forward to the upcoming activities which we know will also be successful academic experiences.
