Russian Language House
The Russian House is one of six language houses at Colorado College. It accommodates approximately 9-11 students who are interested in learning more about Russian language and culture. They share a kitchen, dining room, living room, and study, furnished with a piano. One goal of the Russian house is to provide an environment outside of the classroom where students can practice their Russian language skills.
Every year the Russian program at Colorado College selects a Cultural Program Coordinator, who is usually a native of Russia. One of the many duties of the C.P.C. includes arranging cultural activites for the house residence and community. Holding weekly Russian teas is one of the most popular events.
The Cultural Program Coordinator for 2008-09 is Ksenia Shaporeva. Ksenia was born in the Soviet Republic fo Latvia, USSR. She is a student at the Nevsky Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she studies in the Department of Russian as a foreign language.
