The Center for English as a Second Language (CESL) had another busy summer, with international students volunteering at several local organizations. CESL is one of COLA’s centers. Each summer, CESL offers the Community Engagement Program to our students as a way for them to practice their English and for the community to enjoy the benefits of having this diverse group of students in Southern Illinois.
