Eduardo Febles was appointed as the chairperson of the World Languages Department at Kendall Campus.
Febles was selected for the position last semester after the previous chairperson passed away. His goal is to inspire students to enroll in Miami Dade College’s foreign language and study abroad programs.
“I feel like this is home, because I believe in [MDC’s] mission, and it’s a very inspiring place. I am very, very grateful to have landed here,” said Febles, who previously taught French and served as the chair of the Department of Modern Languages at Simmons University in Boston.
As chair, Febles oversees the department and curriculum for Spanish, French, Italian, German, American Sign Language and the English for Academic Purposes program.
This semester, he is also teaching elementary French 2.
He has a bachelor’s degree in French studies and political economy from Tulane University in New Orleans, and a master’s and doctoral degree in French studies from Brown University in Rhode Island.
