OUSD students and families connect with students in Xi'an China as part of Fletcher Mandarin GATE Academy's dual immersion program. Highlights include interacting with new technologies in the AI Lab, exercising together in the common areas, sharing meals together in the cafeteria, and, of course, some study time, too! Add in excursions to the Great Wall, the Terra Cotta soldiers, and the sweet, sweet pandas, and it was a very memorable trip! Thank you Jennifer Hewitt of the Global Education Culture  Foundation for organizing and making this trip possible for our dual language students.

Public Podcasting has partnered with Santiago Canyon College to produce three episodes: Crypto Space, Turning A New Leaf, and Teenage Addiction And Quitting . Student groups from the English 100 class at Santiago Canyon College researched topics and created scripts to record. Public Podcasting mentored the students in how to tell a story, how to share research, and how to personalize their episodes.  
This program is sponsored by the Santiago Canyon College Foundation. The mission of the SCC Foundation is to sponsor various gift‐giving opportunities, increase public awareness, and participate in campaigns needed to provide for the scholarships, programs, and capital needs of the College.
