Morris, EMU vice president and undergraduate academic dean, signed a consortium agreement with the University of Cadiz in Spain that will enable students to study there for a semester.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this agreement, Spanish majors enrolled in the Brethren Colleges Abroad program in Barcelona or took part in EMU&#8217;s Latin American <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/crosscultural\/\">cross-cultural study program<\/a> to satisfy this graduation requirement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cadiz is a smaller city than Barcelona and a better fit with the EMU-Mennonite ethos,&#8221; said Dr. Morris. &#8220;It&#8217;s more rural and will allow students to live in local homes during their time there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The teachers are impressed with the language experiences and seriousness of our students,&#8221; Morris said. &#8220;They feel positive about the agreement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moira R. Rogers, associate professor of Spanish at EMU, initiated the relationship with the University of Cadiz and is overseeing a group of nine EMU students who are spending the spring semester there. They are taking a full course load at the 20,000-student university after undergoing an intensive language and culture program. The academic year ends June 15.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Rogers, the region of Andalucia, where Cadiz is located, &#8220;offers a unique location for exploring the rich cultural heritage that merges Arab and Spanish cultures.&#8221; She noted that the university recently opened an office for &#8220;solidary action&#8221; that offers opportunities for students to get involved in the local community and integrate their learning into their academic experience.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the Cadiz program opportunities is available by contacting Dr. Rogers at moira.rogers@emu.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marie S.
