Building the skills for a global future – Grant funds language classes
Michael Beck enrolled in the Mandarin Chinese class offered this summer at Gonzaga University because he thinks it will benefit his future career.
The 20-year-old Whitworth sophomore, a political science and business major, says speaking Chinese puts a person at the top of the list
“U.S. and China have huge political ties,” Beck said. “Professors told me if I have a background in Chinese, then it really helps.”
The grant-supported (Startalk http://www.startalk.umd.edu/ )course is part of a federal initiative for Americans to learn languages considered important to the country’s future.
