Our main objective is to provide an environment where faculty and staff of color can come here and do very well and have a desire to stay.

I've been teaching 22 years, and I've never been to Spain. I'm from a Spanish-speaking country, but Spain is very important.

Teaching Spanish is such a wonderful opportunity. I have so much to share with them because of my background.

It was wonderful to have that amount of support; that amount of enthusiasm from people who accompanied me and also to represent Stout.

It's been an honor to have been selected as the woman of color to represent Stout.

Apesar de eu não saber ler, distinguia bem entre as letras hebraicas, impressas no lado esquerdo do devocionário, e as alemãs, no lado direito. As hebraicas agradavam-me mais: vistosas, arredondadas, levavam, por cima e por baixo, pontinhos e tracinhos, dançavam, por assim dizer, livremente no espaço, enquanto as alemãs, impressas a duas colunas, eram magrinhas, hirtas, bem comportadas. O lado das letras hebraicas fazia pensar uma cabeça endiabrada, cheia de caracóis; o outro, das letras alemãs, na cabeça bem penteada duma senhora idosa, com monótona risca ao meio.
