21 students in the BA program and 8 students in the MA program have completed the International Speaking Skills Program in Spring 2022. We hope the program has given both the students from UD and the students from Indiana University Bloomington the opportunity to share important cultural experiences with each other and perhaps some motivation to travel the world and gain international experience in the future, as well.
