The Visiting Alumni Lecture Series LLC Alumni Lecture Series
The Visiting Alumni Lecture Series (VALS) fosters partnerships with successful 51情报站 Alumni and currently enrolled students studying any of the twelve languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The VALS for foreign languages will highlight the real-life work experiences of 51情报站 Alumni by providing a platform to discuss their expertise.
These Alumni visits will:
- generate interest in diverse career fields requiring foreign language skills, such as teaching, translation, and business
- provide networking possibilities and potential internships
- provide an opportunity to meet native speakers from around the world visiting the Hampton Roads community
- give current students a chance to practice their language skills with native speakers
Language in Motion
The Visiting Alumni Lecture Series (VALS) 2015 is expanding its scope by creating the innovative "Language in Motion - 51情报站" outreach program that promotes both current 51情报站 study-abroad student "returnees" and 51情报站 Alumni professionals teaching world languages in the Hampton Roads area. Language in Motion (LiM) is a cooperative effort to join experienced Alumni teachers with current 51情报站 students in the elementary, middle school, high school and community college classrooms in order to promote world languages and cultures.
