The ten months passed quickly, but we got some remarkable work done. Going to miss the joyful and tenacious class of '22.

Crowther is particularly impressive. But respect also to his native #Luxembourg which formally supports and celebrates multilingualism across its educational system and society, both in inward- and outward-looking ways. #GLAD22

I also love the linguistic-social dance that sometimes occurs when meeting a Luxembourger. They cycle through their 3-6 or so languages in seconds before there is a joint identification of the most appropriate one.

Today is Global Language Advocacy Day. Should designers and technologists care about languages?
Absolutely.
It's not just an issue of market reach -- it's an issue of human rights.

Not your average Winter Term. @EloniMedia students traveled to Puerto Rico for the program's signature experience. They worked with two nonprofits and collected and produced content for their projects. Read more about their experience here: bit.ly/34aVj0Y

What if you mixed Lily's sass with Zari's enthusiasm and sprinkled in Bea's teacher-like helpfulness?

Well, @lackaff ... Iceland has done it again.

Some said an open-world experience this immersive wasn’t possible. But it’s already here. And you don’t even need silly VR headsets.
Introducing, ✨Icelandverse✨
