Roberto Forns-Broggi

Professor of Spanish

World Languages

Bio

I was born in Lima, Peru; I love literature, film, and any artistic manifestation of life with deep meaning. I mean meaning genuinely to be found 鈥� in families, in friends, in the passage of seasons, in nature, in simple ceremonies and rituals, in curiosity, generosity, compassion, and service to others. That communal conception of education is a great opportunity to open and cultivate not only the mind, but also the spirit. Cultures should challenge one's rigid place and encourage to dream, to connect, and to create, always humble and kind, patient, tolerant.
