Lourdes E. Morales-Gudmundsson ’82 PhD retired from La Sierra Univ. in June as full professor, after serving nearly all of her 21 years there as chair of the World Languages Department. Prior to this, she chaired the Modern Languages Department at Atlantic Union College (So. Lancaster, Mass.) and the Spanish Department at Antillean College (now Universidad Adventista de las Antillas) in Puerto Rico, and was tenured while teaching 11 years at UConn’s Stamford campus. She and her husband, Reynir Gudmundsson (Boston Univ.), are living in Riverside, Calif., near their only daughter, Carmen Gudmundsson, and her family. Over the years Lourdes has published scholarly articles on Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, and, most recently, Cuban-born poet Rita Geada. In collaboration with Ms. Geada, she is completing a critical anthology of Geada’s poetic works, to be published in 2018 by Editorial Verbum (Madrid). She has fond and grateful memories of all her Brown professors in the Hispanic and Italian Studies Department, particularly Alan S. Trueblood, her dissertation director.
