Andrea Herrera, professor in the Department of Women’s and Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, was recently named a member of the Order of Discoverers, one of the highest honors offered by Sigma Delta Pi, a national collegiate Hispanic honor society. Herrera was selected because of her “exceptional contributions to the profession and loyal promotion of the ideals of Sigma Delta Pi.”

Sigma Delta Pi honors undergraduate and graduate students who study Spanish language, Hispanic literature and culture and who have strong academic standing. The honor society has 593 chapters and is headquartered in Charleston, S.C.
