‘Hola’ to Spanish Prize in Excellence
While Associate Professor William (Bill) Richardson has taught countless students at Flinders University to say ‘hola’, a high achieving Spanish student will now be saying ‘gracias’ for an award given in his name.
Associate Professor Richardson has donated $10,000 towards the annual William Richardson Prize for Excellence in Spanish. The donation will support an award in perpetuity for a student who has reached an exceptional standard during their Spanish major.
94-year-old Associate Professor Richardson taught French and Spanish at Grammar Schools in the UK until 1965. He then migrated to Australia, with his wife Helen and their two children, where he took up a lecturing position at Flinders University.
Spoken by over 500 million people in more than 20 different countries in four continents, Spanish is the second most widely spoken language by first language speakers.
