Last Nov, we hosted Novi Sang—a @StateIVLP visitor—for Thanksgiving at our home, and I feel SO lucky that the #IVLP exchange has come full circle as I’m returning from visiting her in her beautiful home country of Timor Leste! 🇺🇸➡️🇹🇱🌏

Not only did I learn that @YiyingLu created the 🧋 🦚 🥢 🥡 🥠 🥟 emojis that we use on our phones AND the Twitter Fail Whale 🐳, but she’s also a creative that helps educators design and communicate better through color, imagery, and typography. Excellent #SXSWEDU2024 session!

It’s rare to go to a conference where EVERY keynote, breakout, speaker, and interaction leaves you buzzy and inspired, but @NebraskaBiz and @UNLCollegeofLaw managed to do just that with the #WomenLead2024 conference and 350+ women today! Brava! 🙌🏽
