Celebrating 20 years of excellence, the CLS Program is a funded immersive summer study abroad opportunity for American college and university students to learn languages of strategic importance. The CLS Program is a program of the U.S. Department of State and supported in its implementation by American Councils for International Education.
In just eight weeks, participants receive the equivalent of one year of college-level study in one of nine critical languages: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, and Swahili. The program combines intensive language instruction with rich cultural activities.
This is a reminder for our monthly CCIE Education-Abroad Working Group meeting on Thursday Oct. 16 at 4:10. (please note the time as I will be coming from class.).
Our Special Guest Speaker is Christian Alyea from Campus Community who will talk about “GLOBAL 360: Scalable, Inclusive Global Learning with Sustainable Access.”
One of my favorite parts of my study abroad trip was building close connections with my classmates while navigating a completely new environment together. We grew closer each day, and I made friendships that I know will last a lifetime — I’m already planning a summer trip with one of my closest friends from the program!
