2017 - Io̗kwe all. Give praise and thanks to Our Heavenly Father for life and health in us. 23 years ago, the Marshallese Studies Program came to existence with three new courses added to the CMI catalog: MR 120 Marshallese Orthography, MR 130 Marshallese Culture, and MR 140 Marshallese Government. Today, Marshallese Studies
1) became its own Department, 2) is offering two certificate programs: MLA and MSS, and 3) offers courses that are now PELL-funded.
ARE YOU the next champion for Marshallese Studies for our youths who will in turn share what they learned with their youths in the coming generations? Most importantly, ARE YOU the next person to maintain the Department's independence and grow it into an Institute? Please apply.
