Welcome to the website-in-progress of Romance Languages and Literatures at UB. RLL has chosen to build its new site in Drupal, an open source content management system, because we want to make it possible for all members of the department to share their news and updates quickly and easily. This means that not only faculty and staff but also students and alumni can participate in building the virtual version of our community. While the site is in development, you should continue to consult http://rll.buffalo.edu for authoritative information. We would welcome your participation in the development of the new site, and you may use the Contact link in the main menu above to volunteer. I look forward to working with you!
