Language House

Windom House

Windom is the Spanish Language immersion house. Windom serves as a residence for 20 students interested in improving their understanding of both Spanish language and culture. The house has a TV lounge, piano, and full kitchen. Events are organized by the Cultural Program Coordinator in liaison with the Spanish Department.

The Language House Cultural Program Coordinator (CPC) is a staff member who lives in a language house with 12-25 students. In addition to teaching adjunct language courses, the CPC strives to create a sense of community within the house and provides an opportunity for the students living in the house to be immersed in the language and culture. The CPC plans cultural as well as community-building programs.

2012-2013 academic year

My name is Priscila, I am 29 years old and I am from Alicante, a beautiful and sunny province in Spain where I lived until I was 18. I studied a degree in Journalism in Barcelona (2007) and I have worked two years as a press reporter. My other great passion is Spanish language and literature, so I completed my studies getting a Masters Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (2010) and a degree in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature at the University of Salamanca (2011). After finishing my MA I worked as a Spanish professor at crash summer courses at Cursos Internacionales of Salamanca University and at UPSA (Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca). In addition, I have worked as a DELE corrector the last two years. My hobbies are reading, writing, watching movies, traveling and meeting other cultures. I am very happy to work this year at Colorado College and for me it is a great pleasure to help bring the language and Hispanic culture to students.
