The Polyglot Press Winter 2024

Greetings! What a year this has been for IUHPFL! We were very happy to send 124 students to Austria, France, and Spain this past summer with teams of instructors from IU as well as from five different Indiana high schools. Now, as 2024 comes to a close, we are gearing up for Summer 2025 and are so excited to have received applications from students from 56 different high schools and 33 Indiana counties.

At this juncture, when I sit almost exactly between my first summer as IUHPFL Director and my second summer to come, the primary feeling I am filled with is gratitude.
