It's national Student Worker Appreciation Week! Shoutout to our LITS Student Workers whose dedicated work transforms our day to day operations! #LITStagram [Image 1: Three student workers stand smiling in front of a decorated office door with colorful speech bubbles and hearts; a wall clock and campus posters are visible above and around them. Text reads: "Technology Help Desk." [Image 2: Two student workers are shown in separate photos: one sits outdoors holding food, while the other sits on a bench in a garden setting, both smiling in natural light. Text reads: "Archives & Special Collections."] [Image 3: A group of thirteen smiling student workers and staff pose together in a bright office setting. They are a diverse group dressed in casual attire, some sitting and some standing, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Text reads: "Language & Culture Commons (LCC)." [Image 4: Two student workers stand in front of a bright, ocean-themed door display filled with colorful fish and sea shapes, with a sign reading “Officially the Best Student Workers.” Text reads: "Circulation Desk."]

One of our LCC Staff members, Nawaal, is studying abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 Read her experience below: “Hoi hoi! (As they say in Dutch) Half my semester abroad is already over which makes me really sad but I’ve been having the most amazing time here. So far I have visited Spain, Scotland, England, Austria and Belgium (with many more to go) and I’ve met so many interesting people, tried so many new foods and been exposed to so many different cultures and languages. I’ve been trying to learn Dutch as well, but it may be one of the hardest languages I’ve tried picking up 😅 Immersing myself in this culture has definitely been difficult, there are times I’ve felt quite lost at sea but I’ve learned so much about the people and their way of life and I’ve made such good friends that I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. Anyone who is thinking of studying abroad, I know it’s scary to dive headfirst into a completely new country and culture and language but it is in my opinion the best way to experience life to the fullest and I cannot stop recommending it!” #netherlands #dutch #languages #cultures #mhc

Thank you to everyone who attended our Quechua LOTM event, and a special thank you to Professor Marco Avilés for sharing with us a piece of his homeland and culture growing up in Peru. 🇵🇪 We watched the film “Sembradoras de Vida”, a film about Peruvian women fighting to sustain their culture. There was also purple corn, mote, chuño, and canchita to share!
