In celebration of International Education Week November 14-17, Sims Memorial Library is teaming up with the International Initiatives Office. The
purpose of IEW is to spotlight the benefits of international education and emphasize
student awareness of the world's cultures.
- International Photo Contest at Sims Library – The photo exhibit features images from
around the world by students and faculty involved in international education or exchange
programs. Come see these incredible photographs and vote for your favorite.
- Learning a foreign language has never been easier, now that Sims Library has Mango
Languages. Mango Languages is a self-paced, web-based program that gives users a quick
introduction to a language and culture through the conversational skills. Come to
the lobby and look for our Mango Languages display. We will be demonstrating Mango Languages throughout the day during International Education
Week.
- Also on Monday, Librarian Angela Dunnington, Head of Access Services, will be demonstrating Mango
Languages during International Night (November 14) in Student Union Ballroom.
The Department of Languages and Communication and Sims Library are happy to introduce
this new resource available to all students, faculty, and staff thanks to funding
from a Large Student Tech Fee grant. Mango Languages offers courses in over 70 languages,
21 foreign films, 31 specialty courses (such as Legal and Medical Spanish, Business
Mandarin), and over 17 specialized ESL courses.
