One of our most beloved and longest-serving project director, Prof. Gustavo Pellón is retiring this month. Thank you, Gustavo, for inspiring generations of university scholars to forge connections with their K-12 colleagues, for embracing those K-12 teachers as fellow learners and teaching them profoundly and effectively for decades, for epitomizing the work of a CLA Project Director and performing that work on a larger scale, across multiple languages, than anyone else, and for being the consummate leader and collaborator.

We will miss you, but we also wish you the best in your next chapter. Please come visit us sometime!
