Message from ACE and CIE
ACE and CIE would like to announce a new website www.usglobalcompetence.org
that features two videos and some brief interviews about the value of Title VI/Fulbright Hays in the Higher Education Act (this was originally part of NDEA). Some of you saw the first video at a program on Capitol Hill or at the JNCL-NCLIS Delegate Assembly. These are really tremendous resources.
This new website highlights the urgent need for international and foreign language education to become part of the core mission of the U.S. education system from K-12 through graduate school. It was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of HEA-Title VI and Fulbright-Hays with the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Titled "Engaging the World: U.S. Global Competence for the 21st Century," the site demonstrates the importance of strengthening U.S. global competence in the 21st century. Whether it's global engagement abroad or global/cultural understanding at home, our success in this century will depend on it.
The site features two videos and 13 additional brief interviews with Title VI/Fulbright-Hays beneficiaries who are currently employing their knowledge and expertise both at home and abroad. The experts interviewed work in business, diplomacy and international peace, economic and healthcare development, education, and military security and peacekeeping. All videos are viewable online and are downloadable, and a DVD is available for purchase online at http://store.acenet.edu/showMultipleItems.aspx?category=176.
The site also includes a section on our Global Symposium –Critical Challenges in an Unpredictable World: Implications for U.S. Engagement. This event took place on Capitol Hill in March 2009, and the website features downloadable presentations as well as other documentation of the event.
Finally, you will find useful links to information on the Title VI/ Fulbright-Hays programs and related U.S. Department of Education online resources.
We hope www.usglobalcompetence.org will be useful to educators, parents and students, government policy makers, NGOs, and the U.S. business community in stimulating discussion on U.S. needs for global competence.
Sincerely,
Madeleine F. Green Vice President for International Initiatives, ACE

News from the San Antonio Chapter

San Antonio, Texas, a 21 de Julio del 2009
Segunda memoria del capítulo “San Antonio de Bejar” de la AATSP. Dedicada a Johnnie Eng (1944-2007), fundador de este capítulo.
Para retomar el hilo de la primera memoria, 1989, en ese mismo año, el capítulo tuvo como presidenta a Karen Katz, ahora ya jubilada, de Alamo Heights H.S., quien había venido fungiendo como NSE coordinator y era miembra activa desde el principio de nuestro capítulo, la vicepresidenta fue Geri Mc Corkindale, también muy activa desde un principio; la secretaria fue Susan Groos (Baltes) de AHHS, segunda presidenta de este capítulo, y el tesorero era Roy Gene Stewart; la tesorera anterior fue Irma Díaz de León, activa desde un comienzo. Como NSE coordinator quedó Johnnie Eng, quien, desde su comienzo lo coordinó, y ésta fue la causa primordial de la fundación de nuestro capitulo. En estas fechas yo enseñaba en SMH y UTSA e invité a profesores universitarios a hacerse miembros de nuestra asociación; Mary Ellen García, Frank y Barbara Pino, Rilda Baker, Santiago Daydí, Elvira Desachy, Rubén Candía y otros que enriquecieron este capítulo con sus presentaciones y liderazgo. Debo decir que los profesores de Trinity University; Jean Chittenden, primera vicepresidenta del capítulo, y Richard Woods, fueron instrumentales en las actividades culturales de nuestro capítulo y facilitaron el “Gold room” del “Chapman Center” de esta Universidad para llevar a cabo nuestras reuniones y presentaciones por casi dos décadas. También cabe destacar al Dr. Rubén Candía de Saint Mary’s University, que por esos tiempos ayudó con tanta actividad cultural. Cabe recordar también las actividades en coordinación con la UNAM-SAT, cuya coordinadora académica Martha Elena Cortés, facilitó sus instalaciones y profesorado, en cursos de actualización de la enseñanza, talleres y múltiples actividades académicas, bajo el liderazgo de Eva Campos.
Para entonces contábamos ya con más de 50 miembros y las arcas del tesoro ascendieron a más de seis mil dólares y pudimos tener conciertos como el de Beatríz Aznar e invitar escritores como Elena Poniatowska, con ayuda de la UNAM, y otros escritores mexicanos y mexicano-americanos como Nasario García, entonces presidente Nacional de la AATSP. También nos visitaron críticos literarios como Janet Pérez, que editaría Hispania por una década, y otras personalidades que ha borrado la huella del tiempo.
Al principio de la década de los noventa tuvimos como presidenta a la profesora Mary Ellen García de UTSA. En esta época, ella organizó una conferencia nacional sobre el español en Estados Unidos, y Maggie Stovall, profesora de Trinity, dio un reporte sobre este exitoso simposio. Recuerdo que Maggie coordinó y estuvo al frente de muchas actividades culturales en nuestro capítulo. El Dr. Richard Woods, de Trinity University, fue el presidente siguiente, y bajo su dirección el capítulo siguió enriqueciéndose y tomando, cada vez, más presencia nacional. En 1994 se dio un reconocimiento honorífico a la Dra. Chittenden y a Johnnie Eng por sus contribuciones a la AATSP; Patricia Lyons era la secretaria, y el tesorero Patrick Purdy. Creo que en esta década el capítulo llegó a su cúspide. Quisiera anotar los nombres de todos los que contribuyeron a la fundación, organización, desarrollo y fortalecimiento de este capítulo, pero no los recuerdo a todos; sin embargo quiero mencionar a aquéllos que dejaron huella en el capítulo y con los que tuve el gusto de colaborar en una o varias de nuestras actividades: Arthur Glaze, Gloria Palacios, Argie Krohn, Francisco Calderón, Melva Manzke, Iraida Iturralde, Madeline Coleman, Elvira Desachy, Rilda Baker, Peter Covey, y pido disculpas a aquéllos que ha olvidado el recuerdo.
El nuevo milenio traería cambios y por primera vez una maestra de secundaria ocupaba la presidencia del capítulo, Lucha Bolen, de San Antonio Academy. Se siguió efectuando el NSE y hubo algunas actividades culturales que culminaron con otro homenaje a Johnnie Eng en mayo
11
del 2003. Creo que Lucha lo organizó debido a su jubilación; sin embargo Johnnie siguió trabajando con el College Board y continuó siendo el alma del capítulo. Para entonces, la mesa directiva me nominó a la presidencia en 2004 y fui electo presidente del capítulo por tercera vez, las anteriores fueron en 1985 y 1987; la secretaria fue Rebeca Mashburn de Reagan H.S., Johnnie Eng fue reelecto tesorero y Ann Mar venía ya fungiendo como coordinadora del NSE. Continuamos con nuestras actividades culturales y con la celebración del cuarto centenario del INGENIOSO HIDALGO DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA. Santiago Daydi de UTSA hizo una presentación sobre El Quijote en nuestra cena anual, en el “Picante Grill”, donde celebramos con lecturas y comentarios sobre el libro.
En el 2006 fui reelecto como presidente, Cynthia Tijerina era vicepresidenta, Raquenel García fue nombrada secretaria y Johnnie Eng continuó como tesorero. Ann Mar siguió como coordinadora del NSE y Martha Vásquez se sumó al consejo para eventos culturales. Para entonces contábamos ya con casi cien miembros y más de veinte mil dólares en el tesoro. En este año invité a Francisco Marcos Marín, profesor de UTSA, a que nos diera una conferencia sobre su próximo libro: Los retos del español, aparecido en España. Más adelante, se me ocurrió revivir el concurso de poesía hispánica que organizaba la Dra. Bárbara González-Pino del FLD de UTSA, en el cual la asistí varias veces, mientras me desempeñaba como “Lecturer” de esta Universidad (1988-2003). Así que al pasar Bárbara al Departamento de Educación ya no hubo concurso de poesía y sentí la necesidad de reanudarlo, respaldado por la directiva del capítulo y por la administración de Saint Mary’s Hall tuvimos nuestro Primer Concurso de Poesía Hispánica en marzo del 2006, el cual se sigue celebrando cada marzo, en Saint Mary’s Hall. El presidente del capítulo está a cargo del concurso. Los tres primeros lugares de cada categoría recibían dinero como premio, y en 2008 la mesa directiva decidió dar libros de poesía en lugar de dinero.
El 12 de diciembre del 2007 falleció Johnnie Eng, fundador de este capítulo. Le rendimos homenaje y se le dio tributo en su escuela de Alamo Heights, al cual concurrió muchísima gente. Allí me encontré con algunos de los miembros que no veía ya desde hace tiempo, como Karen Katz. Lo recordamos con cariño y agradecimiento: ¡GRACIAS JOHNNNIE POR TU LEGADO, DESCANSA EN PAZ!
Después del fallecimiento de Johnnie, el capítulo guarda su memoria y sigue celebrando actividades culturales que en mayo del 2009 culminaron con la lectura de la autora venezolana: María Gabriela Madrid, la cual nos leyó, para celebrar el 25 aniversario de la fundación de nuestro capítulo, en la cena anual, en el ya tradicional “Picante Grill” de Broadway, algunos de los cuentos de su reciente libro: ENTRE LOS SURCOS DEL RECUERDO, Círculo de Escritores de Venezuela, Caracas, 2008.
En 2008 se efectuaron nuevas elecciones y el Dr. Stephen Johnson, de Saint Mary’s Hall, fue electo presidente del capítulo para el término 2008-2010; la vicepresidenta es Martha Vásquez de Jefferson H.S; Jane Hernández, de Providence H.S., es la secretaria y el tesorero es José Ortega de Saint Mary’s Hall. Ann Mar sigue desempeñándose como coordinadora del NSE de este capítulo. Ella ha desarrollado un magnífico trabajo como coordinadora y miembra del consejo directivo, en el cual, con Lucha Bolen, ha venido colaborando incansablemente.
Aquí cierro esta segunda memoria, esperando que este capítulo siga fructificando para las generaciones futuras de maestros y estudiantes de la lengua cervantina.
Atentamente, José H. Ortega, PhD. Tesorero del Capítulo San Antonio de Béjar y miembro del CE de la AATSP

ANLE Honors Professor Janet Pérez
AATSP Hispania Editor Janet Pérez was Honored as a permanent member of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language (ANLE) at a ceremony at the Instituto Cervantes in New York City on October 9, 2009.
Professor Pérez is a life member of AATSP, serves on the Executive Council, and has served as Editor of Hispania for the past nine years. She is the Paul Whitfield Horn Professor and Qualia Chair in Spanish in the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures at Texas
Tech University, Lubbock, TX. She is the author of more than three hundred publications, including books, articles and monographs on the literature of Spain and Latin America.
ANLE presented her with a certificate of membership in the Academy and that of a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language in Madrid.
In its announcement of the appointment, ANLE called Professor Pérez one of the most important scholars of Hispanic letters of our times. It further cited her books and studies on Ortega y Gasset, Ana María Matute, Miguel Delibes, Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, Camilo José Cela and other writers and poets as “seminal and models in their clarity, depth and, at times, controversy.”
“Being elected a permanent member of ANLE and a corresponding member of the Royal Spanish Academy is without a doubt the honor that is most significant for me, first because it is by far the most important of my honors, and second because I was not expecting it,” Professor Pérez said as she accepted the award.
Her husband, Professor Genaro Pérez, also of Texas Tech University, as well as an AATSP member and Executive Council member, was in attendance.

AATSP 11th Biennial Northeast Regional Meeting October 9-12, 2009 at Regis and Wellesley Colleges
Approximately one hundred AATSP members attended the recent AATSP Biennial Northeast Regional meeting at both Wellesley and Regis Colleges. Highlights of the conference were the special session on Latino Writers in New England, evening film showings (in both Spanish and Portuguese), special receptions, luncheons, and a wide range of excellent presentations, ranging from Literature to Culture to Pedagogy at all levels of instruction. Presenters came from as far away as Costa Rica, Texas, Minnesota, and Florida. Many were able to stay on campus at Regis’s María Hall. It was a great way for teachers, pre-K through 16 and beyond, retired and new teachers to the profession, to meet, socialize and make connections. We are already making plans for the next Biennial!
