Down the Memory Lane 2: Students' Creative Project

Last October 31, 2013 Alejandra Reuhel author of the book Stars Like Fish visited the University of Puerto Rico Humacao.  Students of  the courses INGL 3103 and 3221  participated of this activity coordinated by Dr. Aida Cáceres, Dr. Artemio Penalbert and Prof. Carmen Milagros Torres.

Students of the course INGL 3221 (Introduction to Literature) prepared videos inspired in texts of this book.  We will be sharing part of these creative projects in upcoming posts.  In today's post we will be sharing a video inspired in Reuhel's work that appears in her book.

English BA student Miguel A. De Jesús presented the creative video titled "A Video Project Called Sonzai".  Here is the video for your enjoyment.

After Almost a Year... "Coffee or Tea... and a Book"

     After almost a year without any posts, The Owl's Bookshelf is back sharing the activities that are held in the English Department at UPRH.  This academic year, the English Department Library Committee is composed of four members (Dr. Aida Cáceres, Dr. Larry Myers, Dr. Artemio Peñalbert and Prof. Carmen Milagros Torres)
     The first activity of this semester was Coffee or Tea.. and a Book.  This activity was held in the faulty lounge located in CEITICA on Thursday, September 25, 2014.  Dr. Giovanna Balaguer, Interim English Chair, Dr. Larry Myers, students Larissa Lopez and Megan Garcia, Prof. Evelyn Velazquez and Prof. Carmen Milagros Torres participated of this activity.  Guests enjoyed sharing the books that are memorable to them or were reading at that moment.  The activity had the pleasant surprise of having Prof. Luz I. Vega, former English professor of the English Department join us in the "tertulia".
     The English Library Committee is very grateful for the collaboration of CEITICA personnel Prof. Evelyn Velazquez and Dr. Alex Camacho.  Their support helped in the success of this first activity of the Library Committee.
