Faculty Focus
Steve Corbett, Assistant Professor of Spanish, Retires
At the end of the spring semester, Dr. Steve Corbett retired from the Spanish & Portuguese department after 40 years of teaching and service. His area of specialization has been language, culture and second language education. Furthermore, he directed or co-directed the Mexico Field Course study abroad to program in San Luis Potosí, México for 18 summers and has indicated that this has been the most satisfying part of his work here at Texas Tech. He also noted that he will miss the interaction with his colleagues and the CMLL staff, but most of all, the opportunity to teach the Spanish language and the Hispanic cultures to Tech students. His plans after retirement are to do more travel, particularly to visit his family members, and to render more service to his church.
