La Mesa Hispánica

If you're passionate about Spanish and eager to explore the rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world, La Mesa Hispánica is the place for you! Join us to practice your Spanish in a friendly, dynamic environment, connect with the vibrant Latino community in Fort Worth, and develop your intercultural skills. We engage on exciting activities related to Spanish cultures and language. For further information, please contact the club’s faculty advisor, Dr. Karla O’Donald. 

Nuestra Herencia

Nuestra Herencia is a student organization created specifically for Spanish heritage learners. If you grew up speaking or hearing Spanish at home and are looking for more opportunities to practice the language in both formal and informal ways while connecting with other Spanish heritage learners across campus, this group is for you. Our goal is to offer activities that inspire pride in your language and cultural heritage, all while building a supportive community of Spanish speakers outside the classroom. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming space where members can deepen their connection to their Spanish language and cultural roots and explore how their bilingualism can be a valuable asset in their academic and professional journeys. For further information please contact Dr. Maria Ciritza-Lope  

 

National Spanish Honor Society

Sigma Delta Pi, the National Spanish Honor Society, honors students who attain academic excellence in studying Spanish language, literature and culture. This group encourages college and university students to acquire a greater interest in and deeper understanding of the cultures of the Hispanic world. Membership is also open to graduate students.

Requirements:

  1. Each candidate must have completed three years of study of college-level Spanish (18 semester credit hours) or the equivalent thereof, including at least three semester hours of a course in Hispanic literature or Hispanic culture and civilization at the junior (third-year) level. A student may be admitted to active membership while still enrolled in the second junior-level course if all other requirements have been met and if the instructor of the course certifies that the student’s work is of “B” or “A” quality.
  2. Candidates must have a minimal grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale in all Spanish courses taken.
  3. Candidates must rank in the upper 35 percent of their class—sophomore, junior or senior—and must have completed at least three semesters or five quarters of
    college work; if an institution does not track class rank, then a 3.2 cumulative GPA may be used to meet this criterion.
  4. Graduate students who have been unconditionally admitted to a degree-granting program may be elected to membership upon completion of two graduate courses in Spanish with an average which, if continued, will make them eligible for a graduate degree.
  5. Sigma Delta Pi does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age or disability.
