  <title><![CDATA[Modern Languages Welcomes New Class of Master's Students ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The inaugural master&#39;s class of the School of Modern Languages had to complete their degrees during a global pandemic, improvising new ways to to connect with the cultures they research -- and with each other -- virtually. As Fall semester brings the second-ever cohort of master&#39;s students to the School, grad students and faculty teamed up to welcome new students into the community.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;We want them to know that no matter what is happening in the world, we are here for them,&quot; said Neta Kanny, who produced and edited the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dYUS-LsMoo&amp;feature=youtu.be">video welcome</a>. &quot;Graduate school is an incredible experience, and Modern Languages is like a home-away-from-home. I know that even in a hybrid format, students will have a great experience as part of this community, and I&#39;m so excited for them to start their journey,&quot; she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s important for us that students feel connected and know they can reach out to us,&quot; said Jenny Strakovsky, Assistant Director of Graduate Studies and Career Education. &quot;The study of language is about bringing people together, and we&#39;re very excited to welcome new students into the School.&quot;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
