The purpose of the Spanish Club is to foster interest
in the Hispanic culture and to provide an opportunity to speak Spanish
in an informal setting and to learn more about the Hispanic world.
Throughout its history, the Spanish Club has sponsored
numerous activities ranging from formal presentations by professional
musicians to informal get-togethers to prepare Hispanic meals and share
pictures from Cornell-sponsored trips to Spanish-speaking countries.
The production of the annual Spanish Play was originally an activity
of the Spanish Club, but since the play became an official adjunct course
(Spanish 501), the club has supported its production as well as sponsored
events open to the entire Cornell community: Latin American authors
who spoke about their work (José Donoso, Adolfo Cáceres,
Roberto Ampuero), several poetry readings, a presentation by the Mojiganga
Puppet Theatre, and a "Learn to Tango" class. As a group,
we have gone out to eat in Mexican restaurants in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids,
and West Liberty, and we have also tried our hand at preparing our own
versions of food from Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Nicaragua,
and Spain. We always end the school year with a party/despedida
in the home of a Spanish faculty member.
All students with an interest in Spanish are welcome to
join the Spanish Club and participate in its activities.
