Rise in Russian Enrollment Fall Semester

[Marc Robinson]

Dear Ian,

At St. Olaf College, no increase either, though our numbers have stayed
quite high generally.  We have 35 in beginning Russian.  That's slightly
down from last year, I believe - but due to unforeseen circumstances last
year our entire department was gone due to sabbaticals and medical leaves.
We are back full force now and things seem pretty much like before: 35 in
first year 24 in second year, 14 in third year and 10 studying abroad in
senior year.

I'm also interested in finding out if others are experiencing increases in
enrollments.

Thanks,
Marc Robinson, Chair
St. Olaf College
