Among other things, Spanish language, culture and history are, whether some people like it or not in this area, part of the history of Louisiana. Spain is at the root of the state. |
Many students from the social sciences have expressed a desire to learn the language because they know it will be useful in their field of work. |

Unfortunately I have become a sort of department and wear several hats. Hopefully the minor will open doors so that someone else can come to Nicholls to teach as well. |
