We are also saddened to report that that after 50 years, the Intensive English Language Program has been closed by the university. We will miss our friends in colleagues from that program.
Thanks to everyone in our community for your support and continued interest in our program. We wish you all a restful summer and look forward to reconnecting with you in the fall!
