The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures is proud of all of our students who work hard to gain language profiency in languages that are considered exceptionally difficult to learn. Other students demonstrate an understanding of the cultures they have been studying: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.  Six students were selected for exceptional mastery this year:

The Language Achievement Awardees are: Madeline Oppelt in Chinese, Yue Chen in Japanese, and Emma Russell in Korean.

Acedemics Prizes were awarded to: Emma Russell in Chinese, Jason Burrell in Japanese, and Emilianna H. Kim in Korean.

Madeline, Yue, Emma and Jason are majors in Chinese or Japanese. Emilianna is an Urban Studies major with a minor in Korean.

Congratulations to them all!   Keep studying, everyone.
