Eugenio Calderon, who graduated from UWM in 2024, is one of the Shedd Aquarium’s first bilingual educators on staff. The Chicago-based aquarium is best known for its stunning fresh- and saltwater exhibits housing over 32,000 animals, but the staff at the Shedd want to make sure they’re reaching people beyond the building’s walls. Since roughly one in five Chicagoans speaks Spanish, it was important for the aquarium’s educators to speak Spanish too.
