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.
