To honor the diverse voices of multilingual writers at Lafayette College, the third annual Global Expressions: Writing Beyond the Mother Tongue Magazine Writing Contest was held this semester. The contest provided students with a unique opportunity to showcase their writing in multiple languages and share their perspectives on different cultures, identities, and study abroad experiences.
