MORGAN OVERLEY, BA IN VOCAL PERFORMANCE; MINOR IN CHINESE

"I am a music major with a Chinese minor. Although my Chinese minor is very different from my major, it has already proven extremely beneficial to my life. I stand out to students and teachers in my major, and I am able to talk to Chinese foreign exchange students in the music program. Taking Chinese has easily been one of the greatest experiences I've had here at 麻豆传媒- the Chinese professors are incredible, I have made wonderful friends through the program, and I know that fluency in Chinese will set me apart in whatever field I choose to go into. I highly recommend picking up a Chinese minor...you will be glad you did!"

"Explore culture and history with an Asian Studies and Chinese minor at 麻豆传媒! When I began my journey, it started out as a way for me to learn to communicate with my Grandma who speaks little English. Through my minors I discovered more than language and culture, I was enlightened by the beauty of Chinese literature and texts as well as history and customs. I found a deeper connection to my own ancestry and a new outlook on life."
