Ana Boman, Spanish language lecturer at Trine University, receives a plaque from Paul
Coats, president of the Indiana chapter of the American Association of Teachers of
Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), recognizing her induction into the organization's
Spanish Professors' Honorary Society.
Ana Boman, Spanish language lecturer at Trine University, was recently inducted into
the Spanish Professors' Honorary Society within the Indiana chapter of the American
Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP).
This honor was awarded at the annual assembly of AATSP-Indiana during the Indiana
Foreign Language Teachers Association (IFTLA) conference on Nov. 5.
“I am truly honored by this special academic recognition,” Boman said. “I would like
to thank Dr. Earl Brooks, Dr. John Shannon and Dr. Sarah Franzen for giving me the
opportunity to be a team member at our esteemed institution for 12 years and to provide
Spanish language instruction to students from all fields of study.”
To be eligible for induction to the honorary society, an educator must be a member
of the state and national AATSP for at least the past three years prior to induction,
have taught Spanish at least 10 years, be a current member of the Indiana AATSP and
IFLTA and have attended national, regional or local foreign language conferences.
In addition, they must either have made a presentation at a foreign language conference
or otherwise demonstrated professional growth at the local regional level, served
as an officer or committee member of a foreign language organization at the local
or regional level, or published supplementary educational materials.
As we celebrate National Nurses Week, the nursing workforce is under pressure across the country. Staff shortages, high patient acuity and increasing complexity of care delivery are besetting our healthcare systems. Nursing education programs are being asked to provide graduates who will step directly into practice - faster, more efficiently and with the ability to cope at an increasingly fast pace with changing environments.
Mitch Daniels, former governor of the state of Indiana and former president of Purdue University, shared advice with graduates he said were entering a world he described as “the most promising and most uncertain and treacherous” as Trine University held Commencement ceremonies on May 2.
