Program objectives

1. Provide students focused opportunities to investigate how culture is constructed and manifested in language.
2. Help students develop the creativity, critical thinking, written and oral skills necessary to maximize their individual and professional development.
3. Encourage students to make connections across disciplines and cultures.
