    What is Spanish Club? UT Tyler Student Org Spotlight

    Learning a new language is hard.  For Spanish students new to speaking, finding a low stakes space to practice outside of class can sometimes feel like a challenge.  Even fluent speakers may sometimes struggle to find a casual setting where they can share their language. Which is why the Spanish Club was created. This week, Dr. Ross and student producer Ashley Worley spotlight a newly formed club on the UT Tyler campus which is dedicated to providing a fun, lively environment for speaking Spanish.  Club President Isabel Viloria and Vice President Ivan Paiz join the discussion, sharing their stories of how the student organization has already begun impacting campus life.  Whether you're a native Spanish speaker or just started learning vocabulary words, this episode is for you.

    What's the Real Fraternity Experience? Exploring Greek Life at UT Tyler
