Heather Harper, College and Teacher Education and Licensure
The Ohio State University

To begin, I would like to express that I am very happy to be serving as the College and Teacher Education and Licensure Chair this year and look forward to meeting and collaborating with many of you! Two of my main goals for this year are to promote increased participation from world language educators at the college-level and establish a community of collaboration between colleagues across the state. 

This endeavor involves creating a committee to assist in advancing these goals along with crafting a directory of instructors that are interested in forming part of this community. The directory will be used to connect colleagues with common interests, send out announcements about relevant events, and as a way to share other important information or useful resources. 

I am reaching out to all of you to encourage you to participate in this process, engage in the events offered by OFLA, and take advantage of the resources available. You can join this effort in one of the following ways:  

• If you are interested in assisting in promoting participation of college-level world language instructors in OFLA, please contact me at harper.1232@osu.edu.  
• To be added to the directory and express your preferences for engagement, please complete the College-level Instructor Directory Information Form and Interest Survey. 

Additionally, please feel free to share this information with your fellow instructors whether they are already OFLA members or not. 

Keep an eye out for forthcoming news and events!
