There were almost 4,000 Chinese students and close to 400 Chinese scholars working and studying across Penn State in 2015 and those numbers have been steadily increasing.

Do you feel confident in correctly pronouncing the names Qiaoping, Weixiong, or Xinghua?

If not, join us for a Chinese Pronunciation Workshop taught by Chunyuan Di, lecturer in Chinese at Penn State.

Not a “language person”? No worries! You do not need any previous knowledge of Chinese to attend the workshop. We will only be working on how to pronounce names in order to feel more confident and to make our Chinese patrons feel more welcome here in the Libraries.

Join us 3-4 p.m. today — Wednesday, August 16 — in Mann Assembly Room and via Adobe Connect.
