During the Fall 2023 semester, students in Spanish 301 Spanish Conversation and Composition completed research on Hispanic and Latino alumni and faculty of Wabash College. The output of the class was Spanish-language podcasts and English-language research papers on each student's person. The combined project is entitled "Latinos at Wabash." The class worked closely with the Robert T. Ramsay, Jr. Archival Center at Wabash College for the project, and the intention of the assignment as stated in the course syllabus was to "...share with the Archives to preserve the history of the Hispanic and Latino students and faculty." The collection includes the students' podcasts and essays, select course materials, and documentation created by and for the Ramsay Archival Center on the individuals researched.
