Seven years ago, a group of over eighty leaders from business, government, and education convened by the University of Oregon’s Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) and supported by the federal government through The Language Flagship, a program of the National Security Education Program, developed the Oregon Roadmap to Language Excellence. The Oregon Roadmap to Language Excellence strives to create the conditions that will allow every Oregon graduate to be professionally proficient in English and functionally proficient in another language by 2025.
The project’s website includes information about languages in Oregon, what multilingualism contributes to our state, and ideas for advocacy. Visit it at https://casls.uoregon.edu/roadmap/

Title: National Breath of Life Archival Institute for Indigenous Languages
Body:
From http://nationalbreathoflife.org/
The National Breath of Life Archival Institute for Indigenous Languages is a two-week hands-on workshop that promotes the revitalization of endangered languages. National Breath of Life uniquely provides archival access for native language activists and scholars. During the first two weeks of June 2015, approximately 40 native community members from across the country will gather in the nation’s capital to analyze documentation on their languages and cultures.
While partnering with a professional linguist, these community members from North American indigenous endangered language communities navigate Smithsonian and Library of Congress archives and collections, locate and acquire documents, interpret writing systems, and transform archival materials into practical lessons for language learning. Participants will have training in fundamental linguistics and the use of archival documentation in the various Smithsonian Archives and the Library of Congress.
Applications for the 2015 National Breath of Life Archival Institute for Indigenous Languages are now being accepted! The workshop is being held in Washington, D.C., from June 1 thru June 12, 2015.
You must submit your application by November 15, 2014.
