Earlier this year, the UCB Center for Teaching and Learning organized a Waves of Innovation event "to showcase work that has accomplished broad goals in improving pedagogy, and specifically in student engagement strategies, large enrollment courses, student writing and assessment". Amelia Barili presented there: “Volunteering, Global Education and Good Writing: Preparing Students to Succeed” where she spoke about this Spanish Department course that offers students the opportunity to volunteer locally and to prepare themselves to volunteer internationally.
¡Cómo, hermanos humanos,
no deciros que ya no puedo y
ya no puedo con tanto cajón,
tanto minuto, tanta
lagartija y tanta
inversión, tanto lejos y tanta sed de sed!
Señor Ministro de Salud; ¿qué hacer?
!Ah! desgraciadamente, hombres humanos,
hay, hermanos, muchísimo que hacer.
César Vallejo, “Los Nueve Monstruos” (fragment)
