(1) Western Kentucky University’s Chinese Language Flagship Program

Western Kentucky University is seeking an Assistant Director of the Chinese Language Flagship Program (CFP).  This 12-month position assists in administering the CFP. The Chinese Language Flagship Program at WKU became the 9th such program in the nation in 2009. Sponsored by The Language Flagship, an initiative of the National Security Education Program (NSEP) within the Defense Language and National Security Education Office, the CFP seeks to bring students from the beginning level of Chinese proficiency to the Superior level during their undergraduate career.
Since 2009, WKU’s CFP has seen more than 300% growth-going from 14 to 61 students.  All CFP students are members of the Honors College at WKU.  With nearly all degree programs available to them, current CFP students have a diverse range of academic foci.  With the majority of first-year CFP students having had no prior knowledge of Chinese, the CFP provides a structure of training and support that sets students up for success in their pursuit of Superior level proficiency in Chinese.  Each student meets 5 days/week for classroom instruction while spending additional time with language tutors throughout the week.  To that, the typical CFP student travels to China at least once per year.  The Assistant Director position would play a vital role in ensuring continued success for the growing CFP.
