Also, Abraham Mata, Bill Kopf, and Susan Blassingame represented LCU at the 2016 meeting of the Texas Learning Consortium. This consortium allows member schools in Texas to offer multiple languages for their students. Students at LCU meet in the classroom in the Technology Center at LCU and have classes in German, Chinese, French, and Spanish with students from other universities. Abraham Mata teaches Spanish and Portuguese for the consortium. The meeting was held at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin.
