Learn a language this summer!

Found a great article recently: 3 Ways learning a New Language Helps Your Brain-Even if You Never Get Fluent. You can

• become a more intuitive problem solver.
• get better at learning to do challenging things and making mistakes along the way.
• shift your perspective by exposing yourself to cultures and experiences that you wouldn't otherwise.
• improve cognitive functioning.

It would makes you feel really productive with your summer, right? So why not take some time, and do something different? Click here for a link to the summer catalog of classes--world languages begin on page 50.
