Hey there, Colin here. If you would like a ticket to our Campfire Celebration on November 20th - I need your RSVP today! After today we may have to limit admission. Here's why, & why you don't want to miss this event! coopercenter.arizona.edu/campfire-2021

𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿!

The 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗟𝗟 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗨𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 is a one-semester professional development opportunity for foreign language GATs at the University of Arizona. Fellowships are intended to support work on projects related to CERCLL’s mission as a National Language Resource Center. The current call for applications is for fellowships to be granted for one semester in Spring 2022. Fellowships are the equivalent of a .25 GA position in the College of Humanities, and must follow UArizona regulations surrounding maximum FTE, and required number of course units, etc. Preference will be given to advanced graduate students, but any GATs teaching in a foreign language program at the University of Arizona are invited to apply.

Students receiving funding for a CERCLL Graduate Fellowship will produce a publication that will be shared on CERCLL’s website. Research projects might include developing instructional materials, implementations of new technologies or new media, or classroom-based and action research projects.

New this Call: we accept applications from students whose projects involve languages indigenous to the United States.

The Cooper Center for Environmental Learning just wrapped up their 2020 Crowdfunding campaign exceeding their $30,000 goal with a total of $32,601 raised in donations! Gaining this support was critical to ensure that the Cooper Center can continue to serve Tucson-area students.

Both the college and the Cooper Center want to thank all of those who donated and helped spread the word about the campaign. This support will allow the Cooper Center team to continue sharing the wonders of our beautiful Sonoran Desert with learners of all ages.
