@msualumni @MSULiLaC @CALMSU Diaries can capture language change! A word battle awaits as kids and grandparents think of words the other generation won't know. Here's project lead Dr. @betsysneller capturing the kids' creative ideas. Do YOU know what "poggers" means? What about "Dap me up?" (3/3)

@msualumni @MSULiLaC @CALMSU "Diaries are about who you are". Kids and grandparents raise their hands, eager to agree. And audio diaries definitely capture authentic voices! In the foreground are Michigan-themed gift bags that the green-shirted student team members distributed in the break. (2/3)
