The FHSU Center for Language and Culture is a collaborative effort of several campus units to offer support in the areas of foreign language improvement (including English as a second language) and education abroad advising assistance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The goal of the new fund is to provide financial assistance for living expenses to FHSU students who participate in faculty-led study-abroad programs. It is estimated that the initial gift will benefit approximately 70 students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">FHSU alumna Brenda Reeve, Garden City, made the initial contribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&#8220;Study abroad is a fantastic way to further a student&#8217;s education, not only by attending classes but also by experiencing life in a different country,&#8221; Reeve said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">She is a longtime FHSU supporter as well as an FHSU Foundation board member. She was inspired to give toward travel-related student expenses because of the role that travel has played in her life and in her daughters&#8217; lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&#8220;Two out of my three children studied abroad and came back with such a different outlook on other cultures,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Their eyes were opened in so many ways! I also believe a student who has had this experience will be amazed to find that future employers are impressed by their willingness to take chances in life and stretch beyond their boundaries.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Some of Reeve&#8217;s other contributions to the university include funds for student travel for the FHSU Office of Student Affairs&#8217; Learning Communities. A learning community is a group of first-year students who live on the same residence hall floor, share common interests, take classes together and often travel together.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fort Hays State University Foundation has announced a $10,000 gift to establish a new Center for Language and Culture Study Abroad Fund.
