LANGUAGES
Language is one of the most important parts of any culture. It is the way people communicate with one another, build relationships and create a sense of community. Through the following videos and posts, we wanted to explore different dimensions of languages.
International Students
This video was produced with the intention of allowing international students to share more about their native languages. A lot of international students are the only ones of their nationality and miss speaking their native language while in college. This video intended to create a space where they share with the campus how to say words in their native languages.
Participants: Mafer Bencomo, Milena Montero, Caio Arias, Almendra Kovac, Shpresa Mehmeti, Hamid Mubariz, Nefeli Protopsalti, Tako Pharsenadze, Darci Howell, Christina Park

Domestic Students
We have challenged the domestic students on our campus to try different sentences from different languages and try guessing the meaning. Almost all international students are bilingual and we wanted to put domestic students in their shoes.
Participants: CJ Callins, Sandra Lee, Birdie Rook, Teddy Trubenko, Allyssa Ellis
