Chinese culture courses open to publicFeb. 5, 2010 KALAMAZOO--The Confucius Institute at WMU has launched a series of low-cost Chinese culture courses that is open to the general public. Anyone ages 15 or older may enroll in the non-credit courses, which range in cost from $75 to $200 and include discounts for WMU students. Session I of the series will begin Feb. 8, but those interested have until Monday, Feb. 15, to register. The six courses that have been scheduled are Tai Chi and Chinese cooking, crafts, music and instruments, painting, and traditional medicine. Due to low initial enrollment, the start date and registration deadline for Session I courses has been extended by one week. Courses with too-low enrollment after the Feb. 15 deadline will be canceled. If canceled, course fees will be refunded to those who paid. If not canceled, fees will be pro-rated to reflect that the course started one week later than expected. To register for a Session I courses, call the Confucius Institute at (269) 387-3951 by Feb. 15. Visit the Confucius Institute Web site for details about courses, meeting times and fees. The courses scheduled for Session II will begin Monday, March 29, and are a repeat of five Session I courses. Registrations are being accepted online at wmich.edu/confucius for these offerings.
