“Enhancing global competence and cross-cultural understanding are core priorities of the School of Modern Languages," Stenport said. "By adding Hebrew and Swahili, we are strengthening our efforts in Middle Eastern and North African Studies and applied language learning to serve all Georgia Tech students, regardless of major."
