Latest News and Events
We were recently awarded a a Title VI U.S. Department of Education grant for Undergraduate Foreign-Language Instruction and International Studies. Patricia Simpson, who wrote the grant,
is also the Principal Investigator and Director. The total two-year
funding will enable the Department of Modern Language and
Literatures to expand its offerings and work toward establishing a new major in
International Studies. Brett Walker, who is Chair of the Dept. of History and
Philosophy at MSU, will be Co- Director. His expertise will be invaluable
in establishing an interdisciplinary Asian Studies program. The grant will
benefit the entire Department and its students and was, according to Simpson, a
successful team effort. We are pleased to offer new international TV channels. Students now have access to TV Japan, TV5 (French), German Kino Plus, Deutsche Welle TV (German), and ProSiebenSat1Welt (German). These channels can be watched in Reid 330,
