All students are assessed for their language skills. If a student's their language skills require assistance then the student is assigned to a tutor, or English language class or both to bolster that student's English proficiency. McCormick offers a certain number of classes in Spanish and Korean as well as English. Through curriculum guidelines and the advisory process students for whom English is not their first language are helped to graduate bi-lingual. The LRWC is not just for non-English speakers.
Students can attend classes in the LRWC to learn Spanish and Korean.
Last month I was in Korea and was able to speak in Korean at the worship service at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Seoul. We demonstrate our cross-culturality by not making English the privileged language at the seminary. In the future all faculty and students should know both Spanish and an Asian language. Such a goal not only recognizes the changing demographics, but also is a faithful reflection of the Spirit at Pentecost. In many respects Christianity is an urban phenomenon.
