Barcelona is simply a spectacular city in which to study and live. It is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe and by far the most modern city in Spain. Situated on the Mediterranean, it is a city of contrasts; mixing the best of old and new, traditional and trendy, religious and secular, conservative and progressive. As such, this vibrant city offers you the unique opportunity to both surround yourself with Spanish language and tradition while at the same time taking advantage of its mixture of Spanish and Catalan cultures. People in Spain are passionate fans of football (soccer), delicious food, family, and celebrating and enjoying life to its fullest. Festivals and holidays are important in Spanish life, and have their own distinctive flavor depending on local customs and the time of year.
Along with earning a full quarter of transferable college credits, you will live with a Spanish family and immerse yourself in day-to-day Spanish life. Frequent field trips and travel opportunities enable you to experience the culture and history of Spain. The teaching team tailors courses to the European environment and structures the coursework around several themes common to the locale.

When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were sad? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry—and the circumstances in which we shed a tear—are often surprising and beautiful. Sad Happens is a collective, multi-faceted archive of tears that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances.
A public art, reading, and zine-publishing event asking for student and community participation is being planned for:
DATE: April 24, 2025
TIME: 4-6pm
PLACE: Shoreline Art Gallery in Admin 1000
Submissions can be emailed directly to Gallery Director zmazur@shoreline.edu or use the provided forms in the SCC Art Gallery and submission box in Admin 1000.
We would like to invite you to participate in sharing some stories behind your own tears to share in a moment of emotional catharsis and self-care that encourages people to embrace their vulnerabilities. The goal is to discover connection, healing, even humor through this community building experience.
We are asking participants to submit roughly 200 to 400 words that share an experience of crying (tears of joy, tears of sadness, happiness, etc.). That said, we’re happy to include a couple sentences if that’s what you want to write, and now and then, maybe someone wants to go longer.
What is the benefit of participating?
• Participation at this event includes the writing and sharing (optional) of their own stories alongside the writers and artist of “Sad Happens,” a great public resume opportunity for students!
• Submitted stories will be published in a zine building activity hosted by the artist with personalized illustrations that students can take home after the event.
• A digital publication will also be published in cooperation with the Ray Howard Library.
• Following the event, a book signing opportunity will take place.
Copies of Sad Happens are currently available for review in the Ray Howard Library!

Submissions can be emailed directly to Gallery Director zmazur@shoreline.edu or use the provided forms in the SCC Art Gallery and submission box in Admin 1000.
