Last month, former students who now teach Romance languages at various institutions had the opportunity to reconnect with their former professors at the Michigan World Language Association Conference (MIWLA ’23). The event provided a chance for the alumni to share their experiences as educators with their former mentors. The professors were thrilled to see their former students thriving in their careers and were proud to have played a role in their success. The reunion was a reminder of the strong bonds that can be formed between teachers and students and the impact that a quality language education can have on one’s life.
