Children's Theater Workshop, Tues & Thu, 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, Building F, Beginning Oct. 25

My name is Robin Ruffolo. I am currently a student here at Northeastern Illinois University. I am contacting you on behalf of the (marketing team) Children’s Theater Workshop (Cmt-t351) taught by Professor Goldstein. We have actually put together a play “Anonymous”, about a boy who searches for his lost mother. This play is about anyone and anything and we want to extend the invitation to everyone. (Staff and students). Here at CTW 351 NEIU aims to produce theatrical works that challenge and encourage young audiences to engage the world through creative expression.  We seek to tell stories that unify and foster community among diverse and diverging audiences and we aim to us art to confront the barriers that divide populations. CTW believes that theater should be used as a method of self-discovery and in sparking that self-discovery, our company invests in the empowerment of our young audiences, bolsters cross-cultural communication, and creates awareness of the common ground for growth in our local, national, and global communities. We are showing every Tuesday and Thursday starting 10/25/2018 from 9:30am-12 in the theater at building F. So if you don’t mind extending the invite to people near and dear to you at this school it would be greatly appreciated by the whole class. Thank you for your time, if you have any questions feel free to email me or my professor Adam Goldstein.

Applications are now being accepted for the U.S. Department of State’s Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program athttp://www.clscholarship.org/apply

Applications are due Tuesday, November 27, 2018 by 8:00pm EST.

The CLS Program is a fully-funded intensive overseas language and cultural immersion program for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities. Students spend eight to ten weeks abroad studying one of 15 critical languages: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.  Most CLS languages do not require previous study of the target language.

The scholarship program includes international airfare, tuition, and all program costs, as well as meals and living accommodations (often with a host family).

 

The CLS Program seeks participants with diverse interests, and from a wide range of fields of study and career paths, with the purpose of representing the full diversity of the United States. Participants are selected based on their commitment to language learning and plans to apply their language skills to their future academic or professional pursuits. 

 

CLS is part of a wider government initiative to expand the number of Americans studying and mastering foreign languages that are critical to national security and economic prosperity. CLS plays an important role in preparing students for the 21st century's globalized workforce and increasing national competitiveness.
