Vice-Chancellor Sir David Bell KCB met students and staff in the department.

On Wednesday 25 November, The Vice-Chancellor Sir David Bell KCB and the staff in Spanish will welcome students, colleagues and friends of the University of Reading to the official launch of the new BA Spanish programme. The evening will be an opportunity to thank the many individuals and groups that have helped to set up Spanish, including a number of embassies and community partners, and to meet and exchange ideas about the new Spanish and Latin American profile at the University.

Guests will enjoy Spanish and Latin American wines and tapas, and will be entertained by the wonderful Charanga del Norte who play traditional Cuban music such as Mambo, Chachachá and Son: http://www.charangasue.com/charanga-del-norte,
