Subject:HS Student Summer Immersion Program in Amherst

The Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins and the Middlebury- 
Monterey Language Academy (MMLA) are offering a program for students  
who have completed grades 6-9 to study Arabic in an immersion setting  
for six weeks at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts.  We are  
also teaching Chinese, French and Spanish at that site.  MMLA has a  
similar program for high school age students in Atherton, California.

Unfortunately, enrollment for Arabic has been very slow at both  
sites.  We are trying to identify additional students who might be  
interested in the program.  Dr. Ferhadi suggested that you might be  
able to assist us in identifying interested students and potentially  
staff.

If you would be willing to talk with me about how to identify and  
contact students who might be interested in either program, I would  
appreciate speaking with you as soon as possible.  We must make a  
decision about whether to cancel the program at Hampshire by late  
March.  To learn more about the two sites, you can visit the CTY web  
site atwww.cty.jhu.edu/summer/immersion  or the MMLA site at www.mmla.middlebury.edu
I hope to hear from you.

With best regards,

Katherine Kidd
