Dear alumni and friends,
Greetings from sunny Bloomington! This past year was full of activities and accomplishments, as the faculty and the students returned to in-person classes and conferences, seeking out study-abroad experiences and traveling near and far for their research and learning pursuits.
Professor Kimberly L. Geeslin (1971-2023) was a once-in-a-lifetime friend, mentor, and colleague. She was born May 13, 1971, in Stanford, California, the eldest child of William and Eileen Brown Geeslin, and grew up in New Hampshire. Professor Geeslin was a graduate of Oyster River High School in Durham, New Hampshire; University of New Hampshire (B.A.); and University of Arizona (M.A. and Ph.D. in Hispanic Linguistics). Kim joined the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University in the Fall of 1999.
