Meet the Spain Program Director

After years of study and teaching in the United States, Dr. MariCarmen Caballero returned to her native Spain to lead AU's abroad programs in Madrid in 1996. Dr. Caballero earned her doctorate at the City University of New York with her research in the "Theory and Praxis of the Classical discourse applied to the Renaissance narrative." Dr. Caballero taught for several years at SUNY before joining AU. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Caballero worked in journalism, as a radio announcer, news reporter and anchor for the Spanish media in New York, a city that she considers magical.

Dr. Caballero says that to work in international education all of these years has been a fabulous experience since she has been able to see, over and over, how the memories of what the students lived and shared together does not only have a profound and lasting effect on them and are cherished for years to come.
