Manchester College Professor, Student Develop Book For Hispanics - Indiana

“A Manchester College professor and student are teaming up to help area Hispanics find a better life in north central Indiana. With considerable research and a couple of grants, this summer Dr. Ingrid Rogers and senior Tim Polakowski are developing a guide book – in Spanish – of important resources in the area.

Both have worked for several years among the area’s growing Mexican immigrant population, particularly providing English as a second language (ESL) at the Learn More Center in North Manchester. Students in Rogers’ Spanish classes volunteer as assistants in the ESL classes, helping with pronunciation, checking written assignments for accuracy and engaging the Hispanic students in basic conversations.”
