Bilingual and Bicultural Studies - Testimonials


"I am a recent La Salle University graduate (Jan. 2004), and I wanted to share with you how wonderful my educational experience at La Salle was. I began my Master's degree program at La Salle, after a friend shared how great her experience was at the University. As an undergraduate, I attended a University where the professor's really cared about the students’ education, and I wanted the same in a graduate program. I found that and more at La Salle. Dr. Gomez and the Bilingual/Bicultural Studies faculty were the most helpful and informative team of professionals that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Each of the professors was personable and caring, and had a genuine interest in making sure that each student was getting the best education possible. The Bilingual/Bicultural program was fantastic. There was a nice variety of course offerings, and the class times were perfect for the working adult student. The entire faculty had a wealth of knowledge and an obvious passion for their subject area. From my first class to my last, I was provided with useful information about culture and language from a native perspective that I am able to apply and use in my own classroom. The friendships that I've made and the knowledge that I obtained allowed me a wonderful educational experience. I thank the University, Dr. Gomez and the entire Bilingual/Bicultural Studies Program faculty and staff for the experience. I look forward to continued opportunities to share my La Salle University experience with others, so that you can continue to make a difference in others lives, as you did in mine."

"Dr. Gomez provided the necessary guidance and information so that I could obtain my sought-after certification in a timely manner. His attentiveness to and his knowledge of the program requirements allowed him to answer any questions that my classmates and I raised.

"As a mature student and seasoned educator, I experienced the cross-cultural communication course material as challenging, thought-provoking and consciousness-raising. The knowledge and teaching style of Dr. Angerosa created a safe and comfortable classroom environment that encouraged culturally diverse students to express, without hesitation, thoughts and opinions about cultural differences and perceptions. A testimonial to Dr.Angerosa's class: controversial topics were raised and openly discussed. A must-take-class for anyone who intends to teach."
Judith Green



"I entered La Salle’s Bilingual Bicultural Studies program because I wanted to further my education and I wanted a degree that was recognizable and distinguished from all other Masters programs. The classes offered and the professors in the department are wonderful. They are all knowledgeable of the subjects they teach and know how to keep the interest of the class. The students who are a part of the program all have a diverse background ranging from Hispanic natives to first time Spanish language learners. I think that variety offers a lot to everyone.

"The most interesting part of the program was the workshops and the class 'Cross Cultural Communications.' The workshops provided insight on various aspects of the Hispanic culture in Philadelphia. “Cross Cultural Communications” taught how we perceive others who are different, the stereotypes and prejudices associated with it and how to overcome this. This is a class that should be offered to every student to teach awareness of the diverse world that we live in today. As I strive to offer my knowledge to the Hispanic community in Philadelphia, I am certain that the wisdom gained from this program will strengthen my goals."
