New: Project-Based Learning (PBL) Program
For intermediate to advanced Mandarin learners.
Students choose a topic from our list or propose one of their own, be paired with a Mandarin-speaking mentor, and meet on the last Saturday of each month for 1-2 hours to develop their project. Students will present their work independently in Mandarin at the end of the semester.
Mentor Fee: $50/hour, shared equally among students in the same project group.
First Meeting: September 26, 1:00–3:00PM at Boardman Library.
