There's one alumnus, a dentist from Arkansas, who comes every time. The main thing we accomplish with the reception is, we invite our students, and they see what they can do when they get out.
Some alumni are teaching, some are in missions, and some are in the business world.
A lot are using their language skills on a daily basis, while others are not. Many go to Wycliffe Bible Translators. The department's size and influence are growing, Dr. Silvers said. During this school year, modern languages has served 100 more students than in 1998-99. The growth can also be attributed to the number of students majoring in international business.
