"Differences are embraced at the English Language Institute perhaps more than anywhere else on campus. Each semester, ELI students represent about 25 different countries. They are in class together 20 hours per week, working and sometimes struggling to learn English. If you visit an ELI classroom or out-of-class activity you'll see students from all over the globe, sometimes including Americans, learning, mingling, eating, relaxing, talking, helping each other, sharing frustrations and more. ELI faculty have learned to embrace difference and even revel in it as they work with students from a great variety of cultures. Faculty see over and over again how students contribute to and enrich the classroom as they share their talents, wisdom - and their secrets about how to pass the TOEFL. Come to an ELI end-of-semester Closing Ceremony some time. You'll see differences being whole-heartedly embraced."
