Foreign Language

 Mrs. Patty Schmidt, Chair pattie.schmidt@sendit.nodak.edu 

I graduated from UND in 1974 with a degree in Spanish and history. I studied in Palma de Mallorca Spain during the summer of 1973. I taught one year in Iowa and four years in Mandan, before coming to St. Mary's the fall of 1981. I taught history and Spanish my first five years but have only taught Spanish at St. Mary's. We've seen the department grow from just two classes to twelve sections which now includes levels one through four and a literature class.

Teaching still remains a passion for me and I consider myself fortunate to work and learn from my extraordinary students.
