There’s the Harlem Shake, and then there’s the real Harlem Shake! CC held a panel discussion featuring two scholars who offered historical and cultural perspectives on the dance, followed by a workshop led by four professional dancers from New York. Both the discussion and the interactive workshop were open to students, faculty, staff, and community members. Photo by Esther Chan ’16.

President Jill Tiefenthaler recently visited CC’s Spanish in Spain program, based in Salamanca and now in its 10th year.
