Learning a new language may seem difficult to accomplish during college, but taking classes can yield a whole new set of skills on top of being bilingual.  There is just so much more that comes from studying language that can serve our society beyond just being able to say those words, or communicate in that language, Linley Melhem, the Department of Classical & Modern Languages strategic growth developer, said. Â
Melhem is a Texas Tech alumna with a master s degree in languages and cultures with an emphasis in applied linguistics. She also speaks three languages herself including English, Arabic and Spanish. Â
Learning a language is like football players taking ballet classes to improve their skills on the field, Melhem said. Â

While more resources have been dedicated to mental health in recent years as well as the proliferation of mental health apps in China, cultural stigmas can adversely impact those in society who need help the most. Here we dive into China’s mental health infrastructure and address what needs to happen for the country’s population suffering from mental health disorders to receive the care they need.
