Current Announcements (last updated July 7, 2022)

• Class scheduling: Some of the information under Rooms and times (link on the left) is preliminary. For all courses marked TBA, see Organizational meeting below.
• Placement Test in Russian: Read Heritage/native speakers under Courses. If you find a course that is clearly right for you, go ahead and enroll in it. If you are not sure, or if you want credit for knowing or learning Russian before Cornell, contact Slava Paperno, sp27@cornell.edu, to schedule a Placement Test (aka CASE).
• Russian Language Club at Cornell: Join the Facebook group (run by students) to stay updated. Join the listserv by sending an empty message with subject "Join" to russian-language-club-l-request@list.cornell.edu. The club's e-mail is russiancornell@gmail.com.
• Russian Conversation Hour at LRC: Cornell's Language Resource Center organizes informal meetings for students of various languages to get together and speak the language with no particular curriculum (and no homework!). If you cannot find what you are looking for at the website, write to Emma Britton.
• Russian Minor is offered in the Department of Comparative Literature. See details under Russian minor (link on the left).
• Free on-campus tutoring at LSC (also LRC)
• Ukrainian at Cornell. This semester, Spring '23, for the first time in many years, you can enroll in an overview course UKRAN 1100 Introduction to Ukraine, 1 credit, one 50-minute class a week, see https://ukrainian.as.cornell.edu. Full-length Ukrainian language courses on campus are being planned, but even now any Cornell student is welcome to take distance-learning courses in elementary, intermediate, and advanced Ukrainian at Columbia University, see UKRAN in the Class Roster. These are not taught over Zoom. Our Language Resource Center in Stimson Hall has specially equipped video classrooms with multiple cameras and large monitors that serve the so-called Shared Course Initiative for teaching several languages remotely. The program predates online Zoom classes and has a very different look and feel. Questions? Please write to Krystyna Golovakova at kg463@cornell.edu and Emma Britton at erbritton@cornell.edu.
