Faculty Highlight

Satomi Suzuki-Chenoweth

"As I love language-learning myself, I enjoy my work the most when I can pass on my knowledge and experience to students as language-learning can serve to see the world from a perspective other than one’s own."

Student Highlight

Jonas Chan

"Learning a language truly opens your eyes to a different perspective. The ability to speak to someone else in a different language is so rewarding."

Alumni Highlight

Daniela Galvez Sghiatti

"Knowing a second language and being able to recognize and understand different people and cultures are important skills. I strive to make sure my students understand that and that they feel that their differences are to be celebrated."
