Spanish Club

The histories and cultures of Spain and Latin America are long, rich, and exciting to explore. With Spanish Club, students can explore the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world, practice speaking Spanish with others in the club, and broaden their worldviews. We aim to make space for those of Spanish or Latino background on campus, call attention to the beauty of the latino world, and share the culture with everyone at Knox and in the community. Spanish club aims to increase appreciation for diversity and allow students to step outside preconceived notions of the world.
