We at the Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR) are sorry to share the sad news of the passing of Dr. György Kara. Professor Kara was a wonderful instructor and mentor, and his legacy and influence in particular in Mongolian studies and in Central Asian languages in general will extend for years to come. Our hearts and thoughts are with his family at this time.

Congratulations to CeLCAR's Language Instructional Specialist, Amber Kennedy Kent who has been selected by IU's Center of Excellence for Women in Technology and IU Women in IT (IUWIT) as a 2022 Outstanding Staff Mentor/Advocate. She is being honored at the IUWIT Summit Luncheon on March 28 for her work as a diligent and supportive mentor and advocate for women and technology. Amber was nominated by her colleagues Dinara Abakirova and Meaghan Gallegos. Congratulations Amber to an honor well deserved.
