The Language
Connection of St. John’s University has been selected to host a
three-week English for Graduate Studies Program this summer for 35
Fulbright foreign students, some of the best and brightest
international graduate students coming to this country to commence
study this fall. The United States Department of State’s
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) provides
sponsorship as part of its flagship
Fulbright Program. The English Program is administered by the
Institute of International Education in cooperation with
ECA.
Pamela Fairman, Ph.D., Director of The Language Connection, said
the program features residential living on two campuses, English
language refinement classes, academic service learning, leadership
training and cultural enrichment opportunities. “This award
represents a strong vote of confidence in The Language Connection’s
recently redesigned ESL program,” suggested Dr. Fairman. “And it is
an excellent fit for the University because it mirrors St. John’s
commitment to fostering leadership, learning and understanding
between cultures.”
