FIG Faculty: Maria Licia Aldana Rogers

My name is Maria Licia and I would like to welcome you to our FIG!  I am from Bolivia, but I live in Eugene more than 17 years. I love Oregon, a beautiful place that now I call my home. 

I have been teaching Spanish at the University of Oregon since Fall 2012. I absolutely love teaching Spanish, and one of the most rewarding moments is when my students begin expressing themselves in Spanish and share their interests, experiences and dreams.  I believe that learning another language opens a door to a world of possibilities for personal and academic growth. 

In this FIG we will engage with various forms of art created by Spanish speakers, to find connections with the Spanish-speaking world right here in Eugene. In this beautiful city I love walking with my husband by the river, reading, swimming, exploring Oregon and writing short stories whenever I take a writing workshop. Also, I enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen.  

It is truly a privilege to work alongside our FAs, and to be a part of your journey at the UO.
