Campus Champion

Associate Professor of Spanish Colleen Kattau appreciates the large number of students who pass through the Modern Languages Department. Some are language majors. Others fulfill minor requirements. All of them make a connection to other cultures and the world. Using her talents as a musician and thought-provoking speaker, Colleen champions her interests. These include Latin American people and their music, and gender equality. She embraces her role guiding students to think critically and excels in her presentation. Campus community members can see firsthand when she closes the College’s Women’s History Month celebration with a Sandwich Seminar on March 31.
