Join us for a special Names Training focused on Spanish and Filipino names! This interactive session will explore the diverse and rich linguistic and cultural backgrounds that shape names in Spanish speaking regions and the Philippines, as well as the historical context that shapes and connects these two landscapes. Our presenters from Latin America and the Philippines will guide participants through key pronunciation techniques, name structures, and cultural insights to help you confidently say names correctly and respectfully.

Who Should Attend?

Open to faculty, staff, scholars, students, and community members. Whether you engage directly with students or simply want to enhance your cultural competency, this training is a great opportunity for personal and professional development.

Interactive Learning

Participants are encouraged to submit names in advance or bring names they’d like to practice. Engaging with real examples will help ensure a meaningful and practical learning experience.
