International Education Week at Clark College

Description

Clark College welcomes the world every day. From Nov. 15-19, 2010, Clark College will host "Voices of the World," marking International Education Week. All events are free and open to the public. The ability to identify, analyze and demonstrate how culture shapes world perceptions, values and behaviors is one of Clark's six identified college-wide abilities. This year, 71 international students are attending Clark. They represent countries including Canada, France, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Romania and Vietnam. More than 800 Clark students are currently studying English as a Second Language. During the 2009-2010 academic year, nearly 150 immigrant students learned English as a Second Language through Corporate and Continuing Education classes. The events are being coordinated by the Clark College Office of Student Life and Multicultural Student Affairs, Clark's Service Learning Program, and the Clark College Office of International Programs. Additional support has been provided by Clark's Developmental Education, English, Communications & Humanities Department; Clark College language instructors; and many of the college's student clubs.
