Spanish Graduate Students
SIP Graduate Student Organization
Research | SIPGO Constitution | Teaching Resource & Writing Tools | Professional Associations
The purpose of the SIPGSO is to allow graduate students in the department to discuss issues which affect them as graduate students, teaching assistants, and future professionals in academia.
SIPGSO plays an important role in graduate student life within the department. Representatives serve on the department's Graduate Committie, Activities Committee, International Committee, and they are also counted as a voting member in department meetings. In these ways the graduate students have a voice in the matters which affect them most.
All graduate students in the department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese are members of SIPGSO, and are eligible to hold office in the organization. Meetings are held several times throughout the semester. All graduate students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Coloquio Iberoamericano
El Simposio Anual de Literatura Hispánica para Estudiantes Graduados tiene como objetivo contribuir a incrementar el valor de los Estudios Hispánicos en Penn State. El alto nivel de aceptación que nuestra iniciativa ha tenido en los años anteriores ha contribuido, además a demostrar la importancia que un evento como este tiene.
En los simposios previos, no sólo hemos recibido el apoyo de los Estudiantes Graduados y de los Profesores del departamento; sino que también hemos tenido éxito al convocar a profesores de diferentes departamentos y de diferentes universidades. Otro de nuestros logros ha sido el recibir el apoyo de estudiantes subgraduados, y no sólo de aquellos que se especilizan en español sino también de otras especialidades.
Nuestro último simposio ha contribuido, de ese modo, a construir un espacio intelectual en el que estudiantes de diversos niveles y con distintos intereses pueden reunirse con sus profesores en el marco de un intercambio cultural beneficioso para todos.
Este año, esperamos una respuesta semejante de nuestros participantes y esperamos que disfruten de su experiencia en Penn State. Nuestro Tercer Simposio de Literatura Hispánica para Estudiantes Graduados tiene como objetivo contribuir a incrementar el valor de los Estudios Hispánicos en Penn State.
