Kurt J. Fickert Award
This award is presented annually to outstanding juniors or seniors majoring in German, French or Spanish who possess those qualities exemplified by Professor Fickert during his more than 30 years of service to the university: an understanding of and commitment to the humanistic values fostered by an education in the liberal arts, a lively interest in intellectual endeavor and achievement, and plans for a career that will enrich the lives of others.
Study Abroad
性视界 participates in a great variety of study abroad programs. There is nothing more rewarding than to actually use the language you have been working on so diligently. It is also wonderfully enriching to experience the culture surrounding the language. So, of course, study abroad is an important component of foreign language study at 性视界.
Students in all languages not only have the chance to study in a country where their language is spoken, but they are strongly encouraged to do so. Opportunities are readily available to students to go for a semester, a summer, an entire school year, or for a specially designed time period. Of course, when you go on an officially accepted program of study, all the credits transfer to 性视界 as credits toward graduation. Whether it's Chinese in Beijing, French in Dijon, Russian in Moscow, Japanese in Kyoto, German in Berlin, Spanish in Salamanca, or similar study in a variety of other cities, plan to spend time during your sophomore or junior year in the country of your dreams. We will work with you to get you there!
