New & Departing Students

hancock — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:33:13 +0000

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay in posting. The transition from one quarter to the next is always a bit of a hectic time for us, especially as we have *thirteen* new students this quarter. One of the best things about running a language school is constantly meeting new people as they come here to study with us.

However, one of the most bittersweet things about running a language school is seeing those students move on after they’ve completed their studies. Even though it’s sad to see them go, it’s extremely gratifying to see our students improve their English skills throughout their time with us and to see them move up in the world. At the end of last quarter, five of our students transferred from Hancock International to an American college or university. We’re sad to see them go, but we’re also extremely proud of these students and very happy that we could help them in achieving their academic goals. And of course, even though they’re no longer students here, they’ll always be welcome members of the Hancock International community. Congratulations, guys.
