Carme Chacón Piqueras, Spain’s former Minister Of Defense, will serve as a professor in residence at Miami Dade College during the 2013-14 school year.
Piqueras will be based at the Wolfson Campus. Her duties will include serving as a lecturer for MDC’s Office of International Education, The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Initiatives (CLACI), and the Institute for Civic Engagement & Democracy.
