STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Promoting the value of a variety of English and Spanish degrees, Tarleton State University celebrated English and Languages Week Sept. 11 through 15.<\/p>\n
Each day during the week, guest speakers—alumni and area experts—shared advice for using English and languages to upgrade a university education, regardless of academic major.<\/p>\n
“We try to get input from across campus to show that all majors and disciplines really value the skills learned in an English\/languages class,” said event organizer Dr. Katrina Hinson. “Sometimes pairing an English\/languages minor with a major in another discipline can afford more opportunities when entering the job market.”<\/p>\n
The second annual event featured daily presentations from Tarleton alumni and faculty members from nursing, psychology, philosophy and engineering departments, along with educators and professionals from across the region.<\/p>\n
“This year was a resounding success and the input of our alumni and the participation of faculty from across campus is what really made the event this year so successful,” Hinson said.<\/p>\n
Tarleton, celebrating 100 years as founding member of The Texas A&M University System, provides a student-focused, value-driven educational experience marked by academic innovation and exemplary service, and dedicated to transforming students into tomorrow’s professional leaders. As a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) with campuses in Stephenville, Fort Worth, Waco, Midlothian and online, Tarleton engages with its communities to provide real-world learning experiences and to address societal needs while maintaining its core values of tradition, integrity, civility, leadership, excellence and service.<\/p>\n
