Study Abroad participants (right) rise to be recognized by Chair Barbara Riess (center)
The Modern & Classical Languages Department kicked off the 2017-18 academic year in style with a picnic on the lawn outside Ruter Hall on September 13th. Guests included language majors & minors, faculty, staff and their families. Chair Barbara Riess introduced new faculty, teaching assistants, and staff and welcomed several “friends of the department” with whom the department has a close working relationship. A highlight of the afternoon was the recognition of the many students in attendance who had studied abroad and hearing them talk about their life-changing experiences.
