Spanish Field Day

Northern Michigan University's 22nd Annual Spanish Field Day will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 2013.  The event is to be held in the Explorer, Charcoal, and Great Lakes rooms of the University Center from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Activities will include a visit to our Spanish-speaking country (click here to see instructions for Españolandia) and several competitions.  As always, for crowd and maturity control, attendance is limited to students in their second, third, fourth or fifth year of Spanish.  Please commit your students to act responsibly and to stay involved in the field day activities. 

We will hold language bowl, singing, show and tell and skit competitions this year. Please read the instructions for the competitions very carefully — some may have changed! Entry forms will again be required for each competition. Here are links to instructions and their entry forms:

Please write legibly! An awards assembly will culminate the day. For your convenience, you may want to consider eating at the Wildcat Den located in the University Center.

Nearly 500 students attended last year.  We need to know how many students will come this year so we can make adequate arrangements.  Please apply early--if we surpass 500 students we will likely have to turn subsequent applicants away. We also need to know how many teams/individuals will participate in each competition, so high school teachers must return the Reply Form to Tim Compton by Tuesday, March 5th. All students will visit Españolandia, and they should all participate in at least one of the competitions.  If you have questions or comments, call: 906-227-1107 or e-mail  (mll@nmu.edu).
