CIBER Success Stories

Working Spanish from the University of North Carolina

"When UNC-CIBER executive director Lynne Gerber first told me about Working Spanish, she emphasized that the course was designed for "busy working professionals and business students who need Spanish to do their jobs better but who don't have time to attend traditional language classes in a classroom on campus." The course appealed to me not only as a potential distance learning option for students at all 16 campuses of our UNC system schools, but also as an excellent professional development tool for UNC faculty and staff whose activities increasingly involve the Spanish-speaking world."
