Faculty Programs
Language Training
The Smith CIBER is continuing the
non-credit foreign language training
program for undergraduate and graduate
students which was introduced at the
Smith School in 2007-08. In 2008-09, we
will again be offering 10-week classes
in Basic Mandarin and Arabic in the fall
and Intermediate Mandarin and Arabic in
the spring. Other less-commonly-taught
languages will be added as the demand
for language instruction develops.
Smith faculty members are invited to
take advantage of this program, and
CIBER will pay the associated cost of
language instruction.
The USDA Graduate School offers
instruction in a number of languages via
evening classes in Washington, D.C. The
USDA training center is conveniently
located at the L’Enfant Plaza metro
station. CIBER will pay the cost of
foreign language instruction for Smith
faculty interested in attending a USDA
language course which is not offered at
the Smith School.
Smith faculty interested in taking a
foreign language course at Smith School
or the USDA facility are invited to
contact CIBER Director
Vinod Jain or the foreign language
Theme Champion,
Karen Watts.
