This program is designed to improve the Spanish speaking skills and cultural awareness of our faculty. There will be three different levels of instruction ranging from beginner to advanced. Participants will spend three hours a day in class with additional time devoted to cultural and immersion activities. The program will be held in Guanajuato, Mexico during the week of August 5th-12th. Guanajuato is a beautiful colonial city that is known for its architecture, beautiful historical district, museums, etc.
Participants can opt for homestays with Mexican families or stay in local hotels.
Persons staying at hotels will be given a fixed amount to be applied to lodging and meals.
