Success Story

Lessons from the MBA Classroom: Business Concepts for Foreign Language Professionals - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This event was extremely useful given the stellar reputation of most of the speakers on the program and the quality of their presentations. As always, CIBER-sponsored events are well-worth the detour, as we say in French. The materials I collected during the conference and the contacts I made will be invaluable to my teaching.
