The Department of Romance Languages is strongly committed to the success of our Graduate Students during the time of their studies at the University of Oregon. We support our students in both their intellectual advancement and their teaching development.
Romance Languages Graduate Student Association (RLGSA)
The Romance Languages Graduate Student Association advocates for the interests of graduate students in the UO Department of Romance Languages. Its members seek to foster a sense of community and collaboration between faculty and graduate students through mentorship and intradepartmental collaboration, while raising greater awareness throughout the student body of the wealth of opportunities offered by the Department of Romance Languages.
Modern Language Association
Founded in 1883, the Modern Language Association of America provides opportunities for its members to share their scholarly findings and teaching experiences with colleagues and to discuss trends in the academy. MLA members host an annual convention and other meetings, work with related organizations, and sustain one of the finest publishing programs in the humanities. For more than a century, members have worked to strengthen the study and teaching of language and literature.
Graduate students engaged in courses of study leading to degrees in the fields of modern languages and literatures may for a maximum of seven years become student members at a $30 annual dues rate.
