Other topics include creating needs assessments; considering goals, objectives, and outcomes; and assessing students. We hope to see you there! Email Alexis Olson to RSVP.

Prominent dissident Uzbeck writer, poet, and translator, Hamid Ismailov, will give a talk on his work, within the context of his life and the larger historical and political events taking place in the late Soviet Union, post-Soviet Uzbekistan and the UK. Additionally, he will offer a unique comparative perspective on the literary and publishing processes in the Western and Non-Western worlds, as well as a personal take on living and writing under state censorship.

On Sunday, April 17th, the Language Clubs are collaborating to organize an amazing Easter Scavenger Hunt.
You will be put into teams, either randomly or with your friends, with people who are learning the same language as you.
With your team, you will run across campus from clue to clue. Clues will be written in the language you are learning and they will lead you to chocolate eggs hidden on campus, and eventually to a treasure!
Ready to be the first team to find the treasure?
Cultural Credit will be offered for participation. Even will take place at the ILC, Miller 211.
Sign up here before Friday (15th) at night.
