NYSAFLT is in the house and ready for #ACTFL23! President Marissa Coulehan and President-elect Françoise Piron (she/her/elle) are representing NYSAFLT at the Assembly of Delegates this afternoon!

Hearing from Ben Rifkin בנימין (he/him) talk about the state of higher education in the US at #ACTFL23. Start advocating for WL programs now to avoid being the low-hanging fruit. Let’s make the idea of eliminating a language program as absurd as eliminating writing or math. NYSAFLT

The work of #CurricularChange is hard, it cannot be done by just one person, our collaboration through @ACTFL can make this work more meaningful and more powerful. #ACTFL23
