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."

Dr. Mohammed Bari, Culture Corps Founder
