bolivar house regulars: staff and advisory board 21 a letter

This has been a very active year for the Center for Latin American Studies. Our third class of MA students is now two-thirds through their program and has proven to be a very strong and diverse group. We have now fully returned to a normal academic rhythm with an ever-increasing number of applicants for each year’s MA admissions. Outstanding applications from both North and South America, as well as Europe and East Asia, have enabled us to expand our group of foreign students in each class. In our fi rst two classes we had Venezuelan and Peruvian students, this year we added one from Argentina, and next year’s class will include students from and Argentina. This year we also appointed two new staff members, both of whom have proved extremely effective. Emily Davis, who has a BA and an MA in Spanish literature from Brigham Young University, has replaced Ger- aldine Slean, who abandoned us for medical school at UCSF/Berkeley. Angela Doria-La, who holds a BA in international studies and economics from Seattle University, has replaced Omar Ochoa as our business manager. Both of these new appoin- tees are now well into their second quarter at Stanford and have proven to be excellent additions to our staff, so much so that our current opera- tions are the most effi cient we have had in my fi ve years as director. While economic constraints have led us to cut next year’s symposium funds, this year we were able to fund a series of highly successful conferences. In March we supported an extremely lively international 2 from the director
