ELAS and OIE staff (plus Michele Tomseth , a terrific colleague from Linfield University) presented at the NAFSA bi-regional international education conference. It's always exciting to share ideas with and learn from the educators in our field who work with international student services, study abroad, teaching and learning, admissions, and program management.

We're pleased that our topics were accepted for sessions at the conference and we thank all of the NAFSAns who attended our sessions today.

Today we celebrated the life and career of Prof. Tom Hibbard who taught economics for 3 decades at WU. After retirement, he was persuaded to come back for a stint in the registrars office, to coach the golf team, and even to serve a few months in the OIE.

His granddaughter read When Great Trees Fall by Maya Angelou which was a fitting tribute and many shared their memories of Tom. It was a lovely celebration and captured what a kind and committed member he was.

ILACA Abroad ==> Today at Redlands!

We had fun meeting University of Redlands students looking for programs -- PLUS you can't beat a sunny, blue sky day and palm trees. We got lots of good questions about the ILACA programs at Strasbourg, France, and in Granada. Spain.

It's a pleasure to be able to visit the member schools of the ILACA consortium and to share resources, including our programs, with each other. We look forward to talking more with faculty tomorrow.

Thank you for inviting us to campus!

We are saddened by the passing of Arthur Berman, forner director of the Salem-Kawagoe Sister Association. Along with his wife Linda who worked for the city, Arthur was a champion of International outreach and intercultural sharing.

He worked with so many in both his personal and professional life. He was honored with statements from Kawagoe's government, their sister city association, and friends in Japan and by Salem's mayor. It was lovely to hear the recollections shared by family and friends at his celebration of life.

We think Arthur would be especially touched by this line from the mayoral proclamation celebrating Arthur and urging citizens "...to recognize the importance of cultural exchange and the lasting impact one committed volunterr can make."

Thank you Arthur. And Linda, who passed nearly 5 years ago. The Bermans, along with Alyce and Henry Yoshikai, were some of the Salem-Kawagoe foundational people. We honor their efforts and legacies.

ILACA Abroad ==> Today at Gonzaga!

Thanks for the warm welcome to Gonzaga University and the study abroad fair.

Amy was able to share the immersive Spanish program in Granada, Spain and the "Democratic Institutions" program in Strasbourg, France. She was joined by Dr. Torunn Haaland who will serve as the fall 2027 program faculty leader for Strasbourg. Thank you for the enthusiasm shared with the students!

The Granada programs combines Spanish language, intercultural skills development, and opportunities for practicum experiences PLUS caring and supportive on-site Willamette staff, local host families, and in spring a Program Faculty Leader from one of the partner schools.

We look forward to welcoming Gonzaga students to both of these programs!

ILACA Abroad ==> Today at UPS!

We had fun meeting University of Puget Sound students looking for programs. We got lots of good questions about the ILACA programs in Dunedin, New Zealand, at Strasbourg, France, and in Granada, Spain.

Thanks to UPS Professor Dr. Nagore Sedano Naveira for joining us to help present the Granada program. She'll serve as the accompanying Program Faculty Leader in spring 2028. For those considering the program, she'll be doing an info session for UPS students on Tuesday, November 17th at 10 am in Wyatt 203.

Good luck with your applications!
