Modern Languages Graduate Student Organization (MLGSO)

MLGSO is one of a kind in Florida International University's Department of Modern Languages. It supports students in reaching their academic and career goals who have based their education on studying culture and lan-guages. In a city like Miami, where diversity is essential to the success of people we hope to promote the value of language in a Global Era. MLGSO was founded and developed by Svetlana Tyiutina, Kristina Hernan-dez and Wenceslao Gil in the Fall of 2007 and was soon recognized by the Graduate Student Association. Within the first weeks of its existence the club, along with the support of faculty members and students, was able to accomplish four meetings, five special ethnic events, and support other or-ganizations in the university regardless of limited funds. Nowadays, it offers students a wide variety of activities, including cultural and social events, leadership trainings, lectures, Semestral Research Trips (St. Augustine, FL; Savannah, GA; Key West, FL among others), Conference participation (SAMLA, SECOLAS, etc.) and others. For the past few years MLGSO has been among the most active clubs at FIU. It received an award as the Best Graduate Student Organization at FIU from the Council for Student Organizations (CSO). Maria Sol Echarren is the current President of MLGSO. You can join MLGSO as an FIU stu-dent at no cost.

MLGSO CONFERENCE

The Department of Modern Languages Graduate Program in Spanish at Florida International University offers an innova-tive curriculum that encompasses all aspects of Hispanic litera-ture, culture and civilization, with an emphasis on the Caribbe-an, as well as courses in Spanish linguistics, literary theory, and teaching and research methodology. As a community of active scholars, we endeavor to offer each of our graduate students the opportunity for intellectual growth, development and interdisci-plinary work within a multicultural environment, and to pro-vide students with a rigorous theoretical foundation. The courses offered reflect the variety of the faculty's interests as well as the students' needs, and engage different modalities of interpretation from stylistics and traditional philology to cul-tural studies, post-structuralism, new historicism and feminist theory. Our graduate faculty and advanced students are re-search active, and the department’s collegial intellectual climate is reflected in their steady participation in conferences, sympo-sia and research publication. We hold a biennial international conference on Hispanic Studies that attracts scholars from all around the world, and gives our graduate students the opportunity to gain a useful experience in their professional training. In addition, graduate students can receive financial support from different sources to present pa-pers at national and international conferences. Our program also makes a solid commitment to all students in the

area of professional development, to ensure that they will be

knowledgeable about the profession and adept at the skills needed

to be active and participating members of the academic world.
