From the languages faculty at Southwestern University
On behalf of the modern languages faculty and the
Language Learning Center at Southwestern University in Georgetown,
Texas, welcome to our website.
At Southwestern, we are very proud of the various achievements of
colleagues, students and alums, in particular our collective efforts to
understand cultures other than our own through the study of languages,
literatures, texts of all kinds and academic study/travel abroad. All
of these factors play important roles in the formation of an informed
citizenry with a deep love of languages and respect for other cultures.
In this sense, the study of other languages, cultures and literatures is
basic to liberal-arts undergraduate education.
We hope that this website will highlight some of the opportunities
available to you as students and alumni/alumnae while also providing a
warm welcome to friends of the
Department and University. Here you will find a variety of information
on faculty and curriculum, departmental activities, opportunities for
academic study abroad, and the holdings and hours of the Language Learning Center.
In addition, I invite you to use the contact information
to share your news, questions or comments with all of us in the department. We
hope to hear from you soon!
