CAMP will support these students by providing intensive academic, social, and financial support to help them succeed during their first year at VSU and continue with their post-secondary education.

Spanish Club

The Spanish Club practices the Spanish language and strives to enlighten people on the Hispanic culture by incorporating information about a specific Hispanic country at each of their meetings. Any student can join whether they are fluent in Spanish or just wants to brush up on their Spanish, regardless of their major. We also aim to spread the language and culture through social events. 

In order to join the Spanish club, a student must pay a $5 membership fee or $15 to receive a Spanish Club t-shirt. If a student wants to join the Spanish Club, they can contact the club advisor, Dr. Edris Brannen, or the club president, Victoria Merritt.
