Title: Summer Institute for the Languages of the Muslim World and Arabic High School Program
Body:
From https://linguistics.illinois.edu/languages/summer-institute-languages-muslim-world
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will be holding two summer institutes in 2019.
The Summer Institute for the Languages of the Muslim world (SILMW) provides a unique opportunity to explore the languages and cultures of the Muslim World while interacting with experts on the region. In addition to classroom instruction, SILMW offers a variety of extra-curricular learning activities designed to enhance and enrich the language learning process, provide additional channels for language contact, and expose students to the traditions of the communities of the Muslim World. SILMW offers intensive courses in Arabic, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, and Wolof. SILMW promotes the study of the Less Commonly Taught Languages, critical to US national interest in the 21st century. Learn more about SILMW at https://linguistics.illinois.edu/languages/summer-institute-languages-muslim-world
SILMW also opens its doors to motivated high school students for a 2-week intensive Elementary Arabic course. This is an introductory course in Modern Standard Arabic for high school students with limited or no prior knowledge of the Arabic language. During these 2 weeks, students will learn foundational reading, writing, and speaking skills in the Arabic language through four hours of daily classroom instruction followed by co-curricular activities, including conversation tables, research forum, film series, cooking classes, calligraphy, Henna Tattoo, field trips, and more. During the program, participants will meet college students, local Arabic community members, and live in a residence hall located on the UIUC campus with Arabic speaking support staff. All of these aspects of the program will contribute to their knowledge of Arabic and familiarity with the culture of the Arab world.
The 2019 institute will take place June 9-22.

Title: A Classicist at NASA
Body:
From https://eidolon.pub/one-giant-leap-for-latin-70ae05faf1d4
EL Meszaros talks about the utility of her background as a Classicist now that she works for NASA. She writes, "What I hope my work for NASA has demonstrated is that linguistic study, philology, and the Classics can all contribute to ongoing scientific research. While current emphasis — institutional, governmental, maybe even familial — is on STEM education, contributions to science can and should come from many disciplines. Rather than continuing to enforce an artificial divide, and subscribing to the 'two worlds problem,' we should embrace interdisciplinarity. Science can benefit from the humanities not only by informing pedagogical and dissemination techniques, but also by offering new viewpoints, tools, and millennia of disciplined learning and unbridled creativity to attack any problem."
