Save AP Italian
|
URGENT APPEAL:We need your help now.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program in Italian that OSIA helped
establish in 2005 is in danger of being permanently eliminated for
lack of funds, according to the College Board which administers it. The
elimination of this program could lead to a decline in students taking Italian
courses in high school and college, because many students prefer to enter
college with credits from AP high school courses.
Join the Sons of Italy in its campaign to resuscitate the AP
Program in Italian. Please help us raise funds to preserve our language
and support this important language program.
