We look forward to seeing you all in beautiful Palm Springs, CA this November!

Mission accomplished!

It's the first day of the spring semester, Rebels 🫶

Many students are returning to campus for the first time since Dec. 6. The process of recovery from last month’s tragedy is unique for everyone at UNLV. Together we are .

Thank you for the outpouring of love and support we have received since the tragic loss of our dear colleague, Dr. Naoko Takemaru, associate professor of Japanese studies. We will forever cherish her memory. In addition to her inspiring teaching and research, we already miss her warmth, creativity, and generous spirit. Beloved by everyone who knew her, she was affectionately known to her students as Takemaru-sensei.

Many of you have asked how you can help during this difficult time. We hope you will consider:

-Attending the campus memorial at 2 p.m. Dec. 13 on the north end of the academic mall to honor all our colleagues who were lost in the Dec. 6 tragedy.

-Donating to the Dr. Naoko Takemaru Memorial Scholarship Fund to benefit future liberal arts students in the Japanese studies program. You can give at: https://ifolio.cloud/5603

Dear Naoko, you will be in our hearts forever! Te queremos, Naoko.

We appreciate the many messages of support we have been receiving from colleagues and students.

This session will focus on locating and identifying various sources (blogs, online forums, social media,
etc.) for world language teachers to use to harvest resources and ideas for their world language classrooms. This session will be run PLC (Professional Learning Community) style, so there will be a brief presentation, then lots of time for sharing of ideas and working through actual classroom situations. The goal of the session is that teachers leave with resources they can use immediately in their classrooms. Any and all teachers are welcome to come and share or just gather ideas from the session. The session will run 1 hour virtually via Zoom or Google Meets and all resources will be available to participants and PLAN members after the session.
