As the Director
of the Spanish Language Curriculum, I wear, in principle, two very different
hats: on one hand, I am responsible for the smooth operation of
the lower-division language program, its offerings and all of its students,
as well as the training, coordination and supervision of 30-35 Graduate
Teaching Assistants, while, on the other hand, I also regularly teach
advanced grammar or linguistics classes to our upper-division undergraduate
and graduate students alike. I like my job especially well because
it involves both teaching and administration.
