8 University Daily Kansan / Friday, October 11, 1991 Shawnee Mission center to get KU assistance By Mauricio Rios Kansan staff writer Anew KU program has the University taking care of its students before they even apply for admission. The University of Kansas will advise and assist the Shawnee Mission School District's Center for International Studies, said Del Schankel, interim executive vice chancellor. Goal is to better prepare students for international studies Shankel said KU signed the agreement to work with the district because it wanted to help prepare high school students for international studies in college. "We can be helpful in providing some faculty and assistance," he said. Students better prepared in foreign language and international studies also will benefit KU. Shankel said. About 78 students are enrolled in the program, and next year the number is expected to double, said David Wolfe, director of the center. "I think that speaks by itself," Wolfe said. George Woodyard, dean of international studies and programs, said the agreement was important to KU because a lot of students from the district went to the University. He said it was unusual to find students who had a high school education in Chinese or Japanese. The center will help get people interested in these languages. KU professors will give lectures at the center and will provide advice for the curriculum, Woodyard said. The KU office of international studies and programs will coordinate activities between the University and the school district, be said Wolfe said the program was divided into three sections: - Instruction in foreign languages. - Understanding and learning about foreign customs. International geopolitics, including themes ranging from geography to diplomacy. The languages offered this year are Chinese, Japanese and Russian, he said. "We recognized these languages were critical and were not taught," Wolfe said. "We are aiming for fluency." Next year, the center will offer Arabic, French, Spanish and German, he said. "I think primarily the reason is that people are recognizing we live in a global society," Wolfe said. Wolfe said the idea of creating the center was born from the community's desire to improve high school education.
