On Wednesday, December 12, 2018, students, faculty, graduate students and staff gathered at Palmer House for a Holiday Reception before the winter recess.

Acting Chair Rubén Gallo began the evening with brief remarks followed by Professor Rachel Price who introduced Visiting Student Research Collaborator (VSRC), Mónica Ravelo.

Furthermore, on a bittersweet note, Professor Alberto Bruzos Moro announced the departure of Lecturer and Associate Director of the Spanish Language Program, Sylvia Zetterstrand, who has accepted a non-academic job in the field of interpreting, which will allow her to work in and contribute to Puerto Rico.
