BEATRIZ ROBINSON, born in Mexico City, is a Lecturer in Spanish. She obtained her BM in Vocal Performance with a Minor in Spanish, at UNR. She then went on to obtain an MA in Music in 2000 and an MA in Spanish in 2001, both of them from UNR also. She believes that there are strong connections between music and language acquisition, and those who enroll in her classes will most likely learn to sing a song or two. She teaches 100 and 200 level Spanish courses.
