Students will engage in interactive activities like role-plays, case studies, and professional simulations to build language skills, strengthen r�sum�s, and develop cultural competence in Spanish-speaking contexts .
Students will also collaboratively curate an interactive exhibition in Spanish on sacred plants in Latin America, combining language learning with research, creativity, and public-facing work.

The Alfred Food Pantry (community based, not the AU Food Bank) is seeking volunteers beginning in July 2026.
Volunteering for the Food Pantry is rewarding and easy. A volunteer may offer to take one, hour-long shift per month or as an "on call" volunteer, subbing for a regular worker when needed.
Regular shifts are every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Alfred United Methodist Church on Moland Road. All volunteers must attend a training session where they shadow an experienced worker.
We also welcome High School students accompanied by a parent. We currently have workers who serve alongside their child on a regular shift. This is a great way for young people to garner community service points and feel involved in helping our growing food insecure population.
College students are encouraged as well and would work alongside one of our current volunteers.
If interested contact Luanne Crosby at [email protected]
