Rising Russian Enrollments

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

We have had a rise in enrollments too.  However, I think it much more likely that it is linked to Russia being very much in the news with the war in Ossetia and Georgia than to anything the Obama administration has done.  Last spring already we had a spike in enrollments in online Russian which we offer off-semester.

Тема: [SEELANGS] Rising Russian Enrollments

Dear Colleagues ~
The Holy Cross Public Affairs office is doing a story on our sudden increase in Russian enrollements at the college. Specifically, they are interested to know if the increase is part of a national trend (perhaps connected with new Obama administration, etc.). Can any of you report the same (perhaps unexpected) increase in your Russian courses? It would be very helpful to the story -- which may reach a national audience.
 
Best, Amy Adams
