Rising enrollments

[Paul Richardson]

Amy:

We distribute Russian Life magazine to over 300 schools and  
universities where Russian is taught. Copies go in bulk to teachers,  
who then distribute them to students. One of the requirements of  
participation is that teachers provide feedback annually on how the  
program is working and how it is affecting Russian language study.

Last year, 36% of teachers reported a rise in enrollment attributable  
to distribution of the magazine in their classes.

Best,

Paul Richardson
