Quotes
"Culture Corps gives an important message
to international students and their departments: Don't hide differences,
use them!"
Anja Klock
"Our dictionary
project, although far from completion, is making gigantic strides
in the right direction thanks to the insights Ms. Reinertsen
provides and the discussions we have about the actual, contemporary
usages in Norwegian. These kinds of issues will prove to be
beneficial to all Norwegian language students at the University
of Minnesota and beyond."
Dr. Louis Janus
Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA)
"International
students expose the University community to a different type
of knowledge that we otherwise overlook."
