Amidst the icy weather, Kalamazoo College students are back again to engage in the cozy classroom of Lincoln Elementary, Milwood Middle School, Phoenix High School and Oakwood Community Center. This Kalamazoo College classroom is as diverse as ever with learners from every corner of the globe: the United States, Spain, Mexico, Jordan, Kenya, and China, with learners fluently conversing in French, Spanish, Arabic, Swahili, and Chinese. This diversity stands as a huge advantage for the Newcomers program, but that is not all, their curiosity, in-class preparations and friendly atmosphere are what stand as key in ensuring that Newcomer students find them as important resources in their learning and growth. Jackets are ready, boots are worn and warm smiles as they come to be exemplary language learners, and they are eager to interact with the students!
