World without Limits at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播

The World Languages Department at 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 will celebrate a world without limits this week.

On Friday evening, as part of its Sin Limites initiative, the Languages and Music departments will present an evening celebrating the rich rhythms of Latin sounds. On Saturday, the fourth annual Spanish and L2 Teachers Symposium will offer new insights into teaching second languages for area educators and education students.

鈥淏oth events reflect the mission of the World Languages Department to promote a world-embracing vision in our students, our campus, and our community,鈥� said Dr. Mary Sobhani, World Languages Department head.

鈥淲e all know that music is spiritual food for the soul and heart,鈥� Sobhani said. 鈥淏y spotlighting Latin American music, Latin jazz, sambas, bossa novas, among others, A Night of Latin Rhythms offers a richness of sound that may be unfamiliar to Arkansas and Oklahoma residents.鈥�

Admission to the musical event, part of the Stacey Jones Season of Entertainment, is free and open to the public.

鈥淲e hope this concert raises multicultural awareness, celebrates the beauty of diversity, and informs attendees about musical traditions from beyond our nation鈥檚 borders,鈥� Sobhani said.
