New “Voices” Booklet Now Online and In Print
Recent articles uploaded on the Sylff website over the past year have been compiled into the January 2013 edition of “Voices from the Sylff Community.” The 12 articles in the booklet are a sampling of the many “voices” in the extensive Sylff community, encompassing 69 universities in 44 countries around the world. One feature of the 2013 edition is a section containing six articles by participants of the Michinoku Winds Orchestra project to bring hope and courage to student musicians in areas devastated by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The booklet also contains summaries of reports submitted by 13 Sylff Research Abroad (SRA) award recipients during fiscal 2011. In addition to the print edition, the booklet can also be downloaded as a PDF file here.
