Juan Carlos Rodriguez, an associate professor of Spanish in the School of Modern Languages, was featured in the article, 'New Co-Director Named for Global Studies Center,' posted on Oct 20, 2021, on Global Atlanta.com.
The article discusses Rodriguez's appointment as faculty co-director of the Atlanta Global Studies Center, an interdisciplinary center focused helping improve language learning and cultural competency in metro-area students.
An excerpt:
“Atlanta is without a doubt a global city — a city of connections, distinguished by its leading role in the civil rights movement and the production of global media,” Dr. Rodríguez said in an Oct. 1 news release. “In the coming years, the Atlanta Global Studies Center must continue to serve as a platform to honor our city’s legacies, our commitment to strengthen international networks and immigrant communities.”
