To conclude each MA in Teaching (ESOL, ESL, Spanish, French), students convene a conference for language teachers. In May, students presented their workshops, papers, and demonstrations as well as served on committees for the program, plenaries, keynote speakers, registration, technical support, and social events. A list of the presentations and presenters follows.

Michael Ireland has worked for many years at SIT. His approach to work and his manner with people are widely acknowledged among alumni as personable, polite, and unflappable. He is a person of integrity and sensitivity. SIT is proud he expresses his values on this campus.
I work in financial aid at SIT because I am inspired by our graduate students. By the work that they did before coming to SIT, the academic, advocacy, teaching, and research work they do here, and where they take themselves after graduating. It is quite easy to be overwhelmed by the challenges that the world faces and I derive such energy and hope learning about the work that our students do.
You are invited!

Of course, the big news around here today is the new snow, the first real storm of the season arriving yesterday.
Alumni are expected to lead their professions. That’s true for any graduate school. And as with our sister institutions around the world, SIT is proud when that leadership is demonstrated. This year, there are several SIT alums demonstrating their leadership
