The Kirmser Language Center honors Jeune and Philip Kirmser, whose bequest made a renovation possible. With this renovation and the addition of new technology, the Kirmser Learning Center is now an attractive, comfortable, and flexible space that serves a variety of functions, including a meeting space for graduate students. In addition to its use by individual students for classes, faculty employ the Center and its new technological capabilities for oral proficiency assessment, film screening, and to connect students with native speaking peers around the world.
