Every year, Modern Languages and Literatures hosts "Multicultural Voices." This celebratory event honors our outstanding seniors and gives all IC students an opportunity to express their passion for languages and cultures through various performances: songs, poetry readings, one-act plays, and/or other creative activities. Performances in English will be considered, provided that they are connected with a language offered by the DMLL.

The March 19th edition of the Ithaca Journal features a story about Ithaca College students' involvement in teaching Spanish at the elementary school level. As part of a service-learning program spearheaded by Annette Levine (Associate Professor, Spanish, MLL), IC students such as Kristin Leffler, who is featured in the Ithaca Journal article, work with children to help them acquire life-long language skills. Kudos to them!

DMLL part-time faculty member Paula Twomey has published two instructional books in Spanish with Teacher’s Discovery.
