Associate Chair Susan Braidi and I are very happy to welcome all new and returning students, faculty, staff, and friends to the Department of Foreign Languages at WVU. We are looking forward to a very exciting year in the department! For the first time, in many years, we are offering Chinese language courses; we have hired new full-time faculty in Spanish and TESOL; we are building our program in Russian; and we are continuing our long tradition of excellent instruction and research in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Linguistics, and TESOL. Our Intensive English Program is thriving. Here’s wishing everyone a productive and happy 2007-08!
