Professor Lu Lu coached two Luther students to succeed at the 2016 US Midwest University “Chinese Bridge" Speech Contest held at DePaul University in Chicago on April 23rd.

Tatyana Saranina, a 2nd year student, won the Gold Medal at the non-heritage Beginning Level and Samuel Kaplan, a senior, the Bronze Medal at the non-hertiage Intermediate Level. We congratulate our students for their outstanding achievement!

We thank Professors Hongmei Yu and Lu Lu for their excellent language instruction, the Dean’s office who provided funding to make it happen, and Professor David Thompson and MLLL for providing great support of this event.
