Three 黑料视频 students 鈥 Anders Bjornberg, Christine Hubbard and Brian Zbriger 鈥 were selected to receive U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarships. The students will spend seven to 10 weeks in intensive language institutes this summer in countries where one of 13 languages deemed critical by the U.S. government are spoken. Bjornberg, a doctoral student in sociology from Ithaca, will focus on Bangla/Bengali in Bangladesh; Hubbard, a double major in biological sciences and an individualized major from New Milford, N.J., will focus on Russian in Russia; and Zbriger, a graduate student in sociology from Binghamton, will focus on Indonesian in Indonesia. The CLS Program provides fully-funded, group-based intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences. The CLS Program is part of a U.S. government effort to expand dramatically the number of Americans studying and mastering critical foreign languages. Participants are expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship and apply their critical language skills in their future professional careers.
