The Union College Language Center
Old Chapel, Room 310
The Language Center supports your specific language needs. Check our Language Assistants and Language Mentors‘ office hours for help with your assignments or simply to engage in great conversation. Walk-ins are available, however making an appointment is preferable (the link to the booking page for your language is shared by your professor or stop by the Language Center).
To support students who are studying Spanish, the Language Center offers a Conversation Partners Program where students meet one-on-one with heritage and native speakers of Spanish for the 200+ sequence to have conversations in the target language (professor email them the booking pages directly). This program is curricularly embedded in those courses.
For the 100+ sequence, we now have a Spanish Fellow who will conduct weekly "workshops" with the students to engage them further in the language and cultures of the Hispanic world.
We have Spanish Mentors who are available to meet one-one-one with students to support them in their language studies (practice speaking and writing, review materials, guide students to identify errors and self-correct etc.).
We also have events each term to highlight a language and cultural practice or product (events are announced on the Campus Events listserv). For example, last term we hosted Soil and Soul: Celebrando la Tierra (Celebrating Earth Day in Latin America).
