Emerson College International Student Affairs

Interested in combing your love of languages with travel, study, and work abroad? Join tomorrow for an info session on the exciting options out there!

A few of our lovely readers and singers from last night’s Polyglot Poetry! We are so lucky to have a rich multilingual community on our campuses, and last night we were treated to poems and songs in many languages in honor of International Mother Language Day.

Celebrate International Mother Language Day and Emerson’s multilingual community at this fun and unique event - our third annual Polyglot Poetry Night!! Share a favorite poem or your own original work in your mother language or dialect. Acoustic songs are also welcome. Sign up ahead of time as a reader, or simply join the audience to listen to beautiful poetry in the languages spoken by our community. Coffee and desserts will be served.

Please use this link to sign up ahead of time to read a poem and be featured in the program.

Space is limited so RSVP now to reserve a spot. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in participating virtually as a reader or participant.

OISA and EADP invite all international and exchange students for a field trip to Cambridge by the T to enjoy the play “Becoming A Man” for free! RSVP on EmConnect is required. The tickets are first come first served, so RSVP today if you’d like to attend! (Note: if you have already reserved your tickets through Campus Life, you do not need to RSVP on EmConnect and can just come and join us at Walker Lobby on the day to travel to Cambridge together.)

Emerson College Senior Distinguished Artist-in-Residence, Department of Performing Arts, P. Carl will be co-directing the world-premiere play based on his acclaimed memoir of gender affirmation, “Becoming A Man: The Story of a Transition.” Co-directed by Tony Award-winning Diane Paulus and P. Carl, “Becoming a Man” is a story about the courage—and the community—we need to be ourselves.

The performances will take place at the Loeb Drama Center in the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The play will be presented as part of A.R.T.’s 2023-2024 season, which centers on themes of belonging, the American Dream, and what it means to feel welcome in the United States.

We are thrilled to invite you to participate in our third annual World Languages Week! Join us to celebrate multilingual Emerson, learn about International Mother Language Day, connect with language speakers, hear poetry and music in different languages, and find out about language-focused programs abroad.

We enjoyed snacking on dumplings, fruit, and cookies and learning about regional traditions at our Lunar New Year Language Cafe. Wishing everyone who celebrates a prosperous year ahead!

Thanks to all the grads who were able to join our coffee chat this week! We had a “brew-tiful” afternoon hanging out together! ☕️ 🤗 Stay tuned for our next international grad student event! 🌎 💜
