“Our goal is to graduate fully bilingual and culturally competent students, and we know that Puerto Rico has educators who can help us achieve this,” she said.
The visit to the island will include meetings with university directors and related groups to explore collaboration opportunities. They also hope to meet candidates interested in teaching in Spanish in a dynamic and diverse environment.
