DECORAH, IA (12/05/2012)(readMedia)-- Callie Mabry, Luther College junior from Fort Collins, Colo., was one of three students selected to present their work at the 2012 modern language conference, Streamlines, Nov. 10, at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa.

Mabry said, "I was very honored to be selected... the opportunity to present at undergraduate research conferences does not occur very often."

At the conference Mabry presented "Naturaleza, Sufrimiento y Muerte Inminent en Juan Rulfo," which translates to "Nature, Suffering and Iminent Death in Juan Rulfo." In the paper Mabry analyzed the imagery of nature in the short story, "No oyes ladrar los perros," which Mabry translated as "No dogs bark."

Mabry, the daughter of Kevin and Kathy Mabry of Fort Collins, is an environmental studies and history double major with a Spanish minor. She is a 2010 graduate of Poudre High School.

The mission of Streamlines is to encourage the students to use their intellectual, spiritual, imaginative and emotional development to grow as a person. It allows students to gain a new appreciation of themselves and their heritage through language, literature, culture and writing. The conference is hosted by Loras College, Clarke University and University of Dubuque.

Luther College is an undergraduate liberal arts institution of 2,500 students in Decorah, Iowa.
