UPRB English Department

Nuestra compañera, la profesora Norma Pérez de ADEM, se jubilará el mes que viene y se le hizo una pequeña despedida durante una reunión reciente de nuestro comité de personal institucional (comité que ella presidió este año académico). Ella es un ser humano especial, sumamente servicial y dedicada a sus labores en nuestra institución. Su temple, paciencia y amor al prójimo la distinguen. ¡La extrañaremos, pero le deseamos todo lo mejor en su nueva etapa de “jubilosa”! Thank you for all of your years of hard work, Prof. Pérez!! ❤️🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

After the formal faculty and staff meeting, we had lunch and then participated in several fun team-building activities! 🤩 It was a wonderful way to segue into the summer break!! ❤️

We had a lovely surprise for our administrative assistant Cristi De Jesús in appreciation of her hard work in our department! Gifts, lunch, games, and birthday celebrations for two of our colleagues were also included that week!

¡La Semana de la Lengua fue celebrada en UPR Bayamón la semana del 20-24 de abril de 2026 y comenzó con la presentación de la distinguida compositora y cantante Josy Latorre! The activity was moderated by Dr. Jacelyn Smallwood, a UPRB English Department faculty member. ❤️👏🏼👏🏼

What’s one way you structure collaboration in your classroom?

Yesterday, Volumes 23 and 24 of our UPRB Academic Journal Milenio were launched. One of our English Department’s faculty members, Dr. Glenda Moreno’s, research article was published in Vol. 24, and another of our faculty members, Dr. Jacelyn Smallwood, was the moderator of the event. 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Our UPRB English Department faculty and staff joined a community service initiative organized and promoted by our Social Activities and Community Service Committee! Today was the day some of the committee members visited the Iniciativa Comunitaria headquarters in Hato Rey to deliver our donations and receive a brief tour of their facilities plus talk about their services. Their doors are open for donations all year long, so please consider helping them out! 🙏🏼❤️

Our faculty and staff (minus three) had a wonderful time at our Valentine’s Day team-building get together yesterday! Happy Valentine’s Day! Have a wonderful weekend too!
