As part of the SoCIOLing Lab’s mission to embrace the growing needs of the Hispanic population in our region and deepen relationships between students, schools, and community partners we are preparing for a three day visit with Dr. Kathryn Lindholm-Leary who will provide consultation on our research initiatives regarding bilingual education and dual-language programs in eastern NC.

Dr. Kathryn Lindholm-Leary is currently Professor Emerita of Child and Adolescent Development at San Jose State University. She has worked with two-way immersion and other foreign language and bilingual programs for the past 30 years and during that time has evaluated over 40 programs and helped to establish programs in over 60 school districts in 15 states. Dr. Lindholm-Leary regularly consults with various state and local departments of education.

Welcome to eastern NC and ECU Dr. Lindholm-Leary!
