Confucius Collection

As part of the Confucius Institute at UMB, the Healey Library has received a new collection of Chinese books. The Confucius Collection will be housed in the Curriculum Resource Center on 5th floor. The books are available for the entire university community and will be primarily used for Chinese language instruction in summer institutes.

The Confucius Institute was founded here in November of 2006 in cooperation with the China's Ministry of Education. It's mission is to "promote understanding of Chinese language and culture in the communities served by the University." UMass Boston is the 7th Confucius Institute in the country and the first in New England. For more information about the establishment of the Institute, see the UMB press release.
