ESL Institute Partnership with JFOU
The ESL Institute at UTC is excited to continue our partnership this spring with J.F. Oberlin University (JFOU) in Japan! Students from J.F. Oberlin have been coming to UTC every spring for many years! After a brief interruption due to the pandemic, these students are finally able to return. We can't wait to see how much they learn and what kind of impact they will have on the campus community!
