Manoa Language and Culture Programs Receive $8 Million
Manoa secured $8 million in grants for the 2006-2010 period from the U. S. Department of Education’s Title VI program. The funds will support the university’s five Title VI centers—a National Foreign Language Resource Center, three National Resource Centers (East Asian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Pacific Island Studies) and the Center for International Business Education and Research.
The centers are national resources for teaching modern foreign languages and research and training in international studies and international business.
“These grants showcase the excellence of our faculty and administrators in Asian cultures and global business. The Title VI centers at Manoa are points of pride for our campus,” said UH Manoa Chancellor Denise Konan.
