About
A WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome to English Language Programs! My name is Jen Brondell and I am passionate about serving international scholars in the University setting through teaching academic English and US academic culture and providing opportunities for connections across language and culture differences. I have lived in Mexico, Brazil, and China and have been teaching English for almost 25 years. I am here for you, and because of you, and I hope to meet you soon.
OUR MISSION
We are committed to fostering greater communication and understanding across the diverse populations on our Campus and in our communities. We do this by providing scholars and staff the instruction and support programming they need to be successful in their personal, instructional and professional endeavors in terms of language and culture. We believe by collaborating with offices across campus we create an environment where everyone can thrive.

MEET THE TEAM

Farjana Easmin
Hello, I’m Farjana Easmin, a proud Bangladeshi who has completed her undergraduate journey at the Asian University for Women (AUW), on the other side of the world, and is now pursuing a major in Student Affairs at Clemson University’s Education Department. I also serve as a Student Assistant with English Language Programs, where I love helping create a space where language becomes a bridge—not a barrier—for students from all walks of life. Supporting others while growing in my own journey makes this role especially meaningful to me.
