(L to R) Jue Sun, Phillip Yocca Bachman, Yiqing Ma
Phillip Yocca Bachman (double majoring in ALL and Linguistics) won the Grand Prize at the 28th Annual Japanese Language Speech Contest held at the Consulate General of Japan at Chicago on March 22, 2014. The prize includes a trip to Japan on Japanese Airlines.
The good news does not stop there. Not only did an ALL student win the grand prize; every student ALL sent to the competition won a prize. Yiqing Ma (majoring in Psychology) won 4th Prize, and Jue Sun (majoring in Global Studies with a minor in ALL) won the special Bonjinsha Award.
The competition was tough. Seventy-four contestants from a wide range of colleges and universities in the region competed in the speech contest. Congratulations to all our hard-working students!
