Westminster Spanish Student Showcase

Jacob Cheney

Jacob Cheney is a Westminster student from Rock Springs, Wyoming. He is a business major with a minor in Spanish. Jacob is also the president of our campus Spanish club.

In the Spring of 2002, Jacob fulfilled a personal goal to study abroad for a semester in Spain. After research and preparation he enrolled in a program at the University of Sevilla where he took classes in syntax, history of the language, business and politics.

Chaleh Funaro

Another Westminster student, Chaleh Funaro, spent a summer in Costa Rica and enjoyed the learning experience so much she determined to return for a semester abroad. Chaleh enrolled in classes at the University of San Jose this past spring.

She lived with a native family and gained tremendous cultural and linguistic skills. Chaleh now speaks Spanish with high conversational profinciency and great confidence. Her foreign experience is also of value professionally as she continues her nursing studies.
