Join the Familia

During the Student Senate and CAB general assembly on Sept. 12, CAB representatives voted to approve Familia as a new club on campus.
Familia is a club for people interested in learning Spanish. It welcomes everyone, from beginners to experienced Spanish speakers, Sheila Salgado, sophomore of Norfolk, president of Familia, said during the meeting.
“I am an experienced speaker and I think that the idea of this club is great,” Salgado said during the meeting. “This campus is predominantly white, and it makes me feel a little bit better that some people want to join and try to speak my language or care enough to learn about the culture.”
Salgado said that the club won’t be “homework based,” with members studying Spanish like they typically would in a class.
Instead, they can relax and learn about the language and culture through games and food tastings.
Familia will be meeting Thursday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. in the IDEA Space located in the library.
