A visiting professor from Hanover College will share her experiences in Latin America as part of the continuing activities of Latino Hertiage Month.

Bonnie Reynolds will give a lecture titled “The Spanish Legacy in New Mexico from Coronado to Dona Stella,” at 5 p.m Thursday in Coleman Hall room 1255.

Reynolds is a friend of foreign language professor Kristin Routt. Routt has been teaching at Eastern for three years.

Routt suggested Reynolds speak for Latino Heritage Month because of her experience.

“Bonnie Reynolds is a retired Spanish professor from Hanover College in Madison, Ind., and has traveled extensively in Latin America and Spain,” Routt said.

Renoylds is originally from Ohio and currently lives in Charlestown, Ind.

Every year, Eastern brings a guest speaker during the month of October to celebrate Latino Heritage Month. Thursday will be Reynolds first time speaking on campus.

“The lecture was inspired from a trip Reynolds took last fall to the southwestern United States,” Routt said.

The lecture is free and open to the public.
