Languages faculty leader Maryanne Theodosis said: “The languages curriculum at our college is very unique. Our work as language teachers does not end in the classroom. It continuously instils and inspires lifelong love and passion for languages where the students continue our legacy for generations to come. We were honoured to have welcomed our esteemed guests and have the opportunity to share, and further broaden our languages program, with them.”
