During the fall semester, students in Yilaisa Seijas’s Spanish 1120 and 1121 courses created holiday cards in Spanish to send to women and men serving abroad.
Custom greeting cards were mailed to Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations. Seijas’s students were recognized by the president and co-founder of For the Troops, an organization that sends care packages to active-duty military personnel deployed around the world. The Spanish-language holiday cards were a special addition to the packages sent in December.
