Are you studying Spanish and will have completed SN 202 or above by the end of this school year? Consider our Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program in Salamanca, Spain for Summer 2024! Salamanca is full of cultural activities, restaurants, museums, churches, and other neat things to see and do.

Students have three hours per day of small-group Spanish language classes, and an hour of class per day with an NMU Spanish professor -- all at the renowned Universidad de Salamanca, founded in 1218.

Afternoons and evenings are mostly free for exploring the city, hanging out with friends, drinking café con leche and enjoying the atmosphere. Former Salamanca FLSA participants have noted this experience to be at the top of their list of their undergraduate adventures here at Northern!

So ... have we piqued your curiosity? Join us for one of our three information sessions at 6:00 in 141 Whitman Hall.

In conjunction with the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center’s current exhibition, “The Seventh Fire: A Decolonizing Experience,” the Center will be presenting a performance by the the Métis fiddling master Jamie Fox and her father Jim on guitar.

Jamie Fox is a Métis fiddler of the Aaniih and Nakoda tribes of Montana. The Métis are members of ethnic groups native to Canada and parts of the United States that trace their descent to both Indigenous North Americans and European settlers. Jamie grew up on the Fort Belknap Reservation of Northern Montana where she was immersed in a lively fiddle and dance tradition. She will perform selections from the tunes played there, derived from a mixture of Celtic, French, and Native American cultures, and some other “popular” Métis tunes that are played throughout Native country. She will be accompanied on guitar by her father, Jim Fox. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center and the Hiawatha Music Co-op, which both strive to celebrate and preserve the folk music traditions of the region.
