Welcome Heleen and Monique!

On Tuesday afternoon, the office of Institutional Advancement hosted tea in the International Lounge of the Parkland Library to welcome two visiting faculty members from Holland.


Both women are teachers in the Dutch college system in two year technical colleges.  Monique's discipline is Child Development and Heleen's is in developmental math and Dutch as a second language.  They will be visiting classes and different departments at Parkland College as well as learning about everyday American life by staying with Jan Thom and Kelly Bails (respectively.)
Monique gives Nancy Gaumer's granddaughter a thumbs-up for correctly identifying international flags.

Marva Nelson, Heleen and Erika Hackman discuss similarities between English and Dutch students.

Monique, Jan Thom and Anna Maria Watkin compare cultural differences.
