Dear Italian-Teaching OWLA Colleagues,
Please see and respond to the message below from The Ohio State University’s Department of French and Italian, which seeks to update its statewide network of K-12 Italian programs and teachers. Please send information about your Italian program to the referenced university email address. Questions should be directed to Jenna Thrash at the OSU Department of French and Italian. Please forward this message to any Italian educators you know who may not be in the OWLA Google Group.
Many regards,

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your help with this. Here’s a message for the OWLA listserv:
Calling all Italian programs in Ohio!
The Department of French and Italian at The Ohio State University is updating its network of Italian language educators across the state. We would be grateful if you could share the current contact information for Italian teachers at your school.
Please email fr...@osu.edu with your school name, Italian courses offered, and the best contact person (email preferred). This information will help us share news about opportunities and events at Ohio State, including our annual Italian Immersion Day, and other outreach programs.
Thank you for helping us stay connected with Ohio's Italian language educators!
Thanks again-
Jenna
