On September 30, Emory students with language majors and minors had the valuable opportunity to meet their Language Career Adviser, Don Cornwell, who is also the Director of the Career Center. Not only was this the first collaborative effort between the Emory College Language Center (ECLC) and the Career Center, but this was also the first event in the Career Workshop Series designed for language majors. It was an informal opportunity to discuss students’ career plans with their adviser. Director Don Cornwell started out by introducing himself and the Career Center. He emphasized how he can help students by giving students suggestions in finding a career path or connecting them to professionals who are in the industry of interest. Following Director Cornwell’s introduction, the floor opened to the students to introduce themselves and their career aspirations. Most of the students had an other majors in addition to their language majors and were exploring different career opportunities. There was a wide range of career interests ranging from flight attendant to working for the Peace Corps. The students were very open to discussing their personal interests and many students stayed after for a few minutes to make appointments with Director Cornwell. The next “Careers in Language Workshop”, entitled “Exploring Your Career Path: An Exercise and Discussion to Identify/Clarify Career Interests and Options”, will be held on October 14th at 5:00pm in room 201 Modern Languages Building. |

The Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies
First Annual Cultural Festival
On Monday, March 30, 2015, the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies, with the support of the Emory College Language Center, presented its first annual cultural festival, “Celebrating MESAS Languages Through Music and Song.” The event was an exciting way for students in the five language programs in the department – Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Persian and Tibetan – to deepen their learning and to develop relationships across regional and linguistic boundaries. Building on the idea that communication takes many forms and crosses cultures in many ways, students from each of the language programs expressed their culture through musical performance. The students from the Arabic program performed Habibi Ya Nour Al Ain (Beloved, Light of My Eyes) and regional dancing. Students within the Hebrew program sang Yachad (Together). Students in the Hindi program sang and danced to a hit Bollywood piece, Maahi Ve (Oh My Beloved). Students from the Persian program sang a classic pop song, Porsoon Porsoon (Looking for the beloved). The students from the Tibetan program closed the event with a traditional song titled Mahb-Jah Yong-Yong (The Stride of the Peacock). The reception afterwards allowed students to meet with one another and their professors. Students and faculty enjoyed light refreshments provided by the Persian and Hindi programs, featuring a balanced blend of sweet and salty treats.
