Penn State offers Ukrainian language

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - The Penn State University Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures will offer a four-credit Ukrainian language course at Penn State in the upcoming fall 2004 semester to be taught by Larysa Bobrova from Horlivka, Ukraine.

Ms. Bobrova is currently a visiting Fulbright scholar and Head of the Translation Department of the Horlivka Pedagogical University. She will be working toward a Ph.D. degree in language acquisition studies at Penn State.

The course is offered thanks to the generosity of Alex and Helen Woskob, who will donate the cost of instruction to the university.

The Ukrainian 001 class will meet Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 11:15 a.m.-12:05 p.m. in the Willard Building. Students may already sign up for it by logging on to: http://soc.our.psu.edu/soc/fall/up/p-z/ukr.html.

Ukrainian 002 and Ukrainian 003 will be offered in subsequent semesters, allowing students to complete their undergraduate language requirement.

The Woskobs, owners of the AW & Sons apartment management company in State College, have long been supporters of Ukrainian studies at Penn State. They have endowed a Chair of Ukrainian Agricultural Studies in the College of Agriculture, as well as funded an Endowment in Ukrainian Studies in the Penn State College of Liberal Arts.
