Cultural enrichment beyond the classroom

Besides improving your Chinese language proficiency through classwork, the Institute offers fun extracurricular activities that increase your cultural literacy.

Enrichment activities include such things as Chinese calligraphy, kite making, opera mask painting, Mahjong, Chinese chess, and excursions within the broader Bloomington community.

You attend lectures delivered by scholars from China, interact with Chinese families living in Bloomington, and showcase your talents, personality, and Chinese language skills on Performance Night.
