Story from Campbellsville University

CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Several students were recognized for their hard work on Friday, July 24, 2015, by the Campbellsville University English as a Second Language Institute in the Mobley Theater of the Alumni Building.

Three students achieved completion of the ESL program while 15 others received Beijing Information Management Schools (BIMS) participation certificates during the ceremony.



Tim Hooker, ESL programs director and instructor in ESL, welcomed those attending. "It's a special time for you all. I would like to thank everyone who has come today," Hooker said.

This ceremony marked the first year Campbellsville University's ESL Institute has handed out special certificates to BIMS students.

Dr. Donna Hedgepath, vice president for academic affairs, spoke about the importance of continuing to acquire knowledge.

"We are always in the process of learning new things. It's hard work, and it seems daunting learning to speak more than one language," Hedgepath said.

"Hopefully as you learn from us, we learn from you as well. I'm excited that some of you might become CU Tigers in the future."

Maryann Matheny, ESL endorsement specialist and instructor in ESL, called the names of students as they were recognized, while Hooker and Andrea Giordano, assistant director of ESL and instructor in ESL, presented their certificates. Those honored were Iku Kamata of Japan and Lui Ximan and Mi Yingxin from China for the completion of the ESL certificates.

BIMs students included the following, all of whom are from China: Bo Haoran, Fan Yi, Gu Xin, Guo Tianhao, Han Hao, Jin Yuxiang, Liu JiaYi, Ma JiaJun, Ma Yuwei, Mao Tong, Song Chuqiao, Sun Qiao, Tian Ye, Zhai Yifan and Zhao Tianjing. Dennis Paiva, director of international education, closed the ceremony.

"If you are able to communicate, you are able to do anything," Paiva said.
