We have some other exciting news too.This year we wil l offer10 students the chance to travel to China on a cultural exchange.Thanks to the hard work of the Foreign Languages Department , we have estab li shed links with avocational col l ege in Be ij ing , the capital of China.The trip to China wil l offer students a chance to learn Mandarin and stay in the homes of Chinese fam i lies.
