The Foreign Language/Area Studies Enhancement Program at Central State University (Ohio) is an experience-centered work and study program in Africa designed to give students training in language, culture, and technology. It parallels and supports the university's northern Senegal water management project designed to promote self-sufficiency among villagers in the husbanding of water resources. French and Wolof language and culture training are conducted through both overseas and classroom instruction and practical use of skills in the context of a major economic and agricultural development program. Over 700 students have participated in the program on campus and overseas; 58 students, faculty, and staff have traveled to Senegal, and program expansion has begun. Understanding of West African culture has been enhanced on campus, and instruction in foreign languages and renewable energy technology has been improved at the university, and the university has also developed an ongoing relationship with the government and people of Senegal.
