Ever ask your friends to hang out with you with absolutely no idea what to do, just to enjoy time together and chat? 👥

Meet SILC's first Student Leadership Ambassadors.
🎉 Last week, our new cohort came together for their first official meeting and things are already looking good.

They got to know one another, shared their goals for this experience, explored how their ambassador work builds career skills, and discussed the real-world impact of studying languages and what it truly means to represent SILC in the world.

This cohort is just getting started. Stay tuned!

Join us in celebrating Professor Nina Berman on the publication of her article, “Integrating Kenyan Creatives into the Country’s Arts and Sports Science Education Curricula.” Based on ethnographic work conducted over the last five years in Diani, Kenya, the article offers insights into how acrobatic groups in Kenya could potentially help address the country’s teacher shortage. It also advances policy recommendations ranging from screening criteria and onboarding protocols to new employment categories, demonstrating how a creative-industry workforce can meet education-sector needs while promoting cross-sector, future-oriented solutions.

Isabelle Kinney earned three bachelor's degrees at ASU and a Russian minor. She is now a dual master's student at the University of Michigan, where her thesis on digital authoritarianism runs on Russian sources and her French keeps surfacing in research on Central Asia. 📖

She almost left SILC as a first-year student. A French intensive changed that, and the languages she built here now shape her research and her teaching.

Congratulations to Derek Cisneros, our Japanese major student, on being awarded the MEXT Japanese Studies Scholarship from the Government of Japan for the 2026–2027 academic year! 🇯🇵

He will spend a year studying at Hirosaki University in Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost prefecture on Japan's main island. Through the culture-focused program, he will strengthen his knowledge of Japanese culture and language while participating in hands-on learning opportunities, including local field trips and courses in tourism, art, regional industries and web marketing.

The scholarship program also provides support for academic costs, visa fees and a monthly stipend for living expenses—allowing for an incredible immersive experience. ✨

We are incredibly proud of you and excited to see all you accomplish in Japan!
