CSUN Marks Korean Home-Stay Program
A program that immerses Cal State Northridge students in Korean culture through home stays with local Korean families will celebrate the completion of its inaugural semester at a reception Wednesday.
Study Abroad in Los Angeles Project: Korea is the brainchild of two CSUN professors.
“The program will expand intercultural opportunities, since only one-half of 1% of all CSU students study in foreign countries in yearlong programs,” said Jan Fish, a CSUN professor of educational psychology and counseling. Fish co-founded the program with Ah-Jeong Kim, assistant professor of theater.
Fish said the weekend home-stay program will be offered again in the fall 1998 semester.
Fish added that future programs could include projects with the Armenian, Chinese and Iranian communities.
The reception will take place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in Room 113 of the studio theater and speech drama building on the southern end of the campus at 18111 Nordhoff St. Seating is limited and reservations are required.
At 7 p.m., Heeran Choi Chung will perform on the kayagum, a traditional Korean stringed instrument, followed by an instructional panel and presentation of the Korean film “The Story of Two Women” at 8:15 p.m.
For more information or to make reservations, contact Kim at (818) 677-2138 or 677-3086.
