Do you speak Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Jamaican Patois, Bambara, Nepali, Hindi, Tibetan, Bengali or Urdu?
Do you speak any other language?
The school is working on translating a poem by the US Poet Laureate (who is coming to LaGuardia!!) into many different languages to present to her as a gift.
If you attend (and get a faculty member to sign a note saying you were there) I will give you +1 on your final grade. This could tip the scales.... for example, it your final average is an 89 (B+) it would be an 90 (A-)
