CLA Project Director Prof. Gustavo Pellón will lead the program “Enlazando lengua y cultura” on April 27th, at the University of Lynchburg, 9AM – 3PM. The program will be conducted entirely in Spanish, and it will cover topics such as music, film and literature with a roundtable discussion session. It is a follow-up session to the program held last year at UVA, but all are welcome, including teachers who did not attend last year.
