Editor’s note: Since its founding in 2016, Georgia State University’s Center for Urban Language Teaching and Research, or CULTR, has become a key convener for vital discussions on enhancing inclusive language instruction among underserved communities and institutions in metro Atlanta and beyond.
A touchstone event each year is the Global Languages Leadership Meeting, a networking luncheon that allows local organizations from the business, education, nonprofit and government sectors to showcase how they’re making use of global and linguistic competencies in their daily activities.
Past attendees including

Amateur astronomer Paul Camilleri of Northern Territory, Australia and the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) independently discovered the new object early on April 12th at visual magnitude 9.5. Formally named V1710 Scorpii, it brightened quickly to 8.5 before fading slightly, now simmering around 9.5 as of early April 15th. Oscillations like these are common, so the nova might continue to fade or re-brighten just as suddenly.
