Francisco Lomelí had no idea he was being considered for membership in a prestigious organization of Spanish language scholars. And then, out of the blue, came word that he was in.
A professor of Spanish and Portuguese and of Chicana and Chicano studies at UCSB, Lomelí was elected as a correspondent to the North American Academy of the Spanish Language. The honor is given to a small number of scholars who have distinguished themselves in their fields.
