In Memory The SCOLT Board celebrates the life and contributions of Dr. Herman Bostick. Dr. Bostick was a SCOLT founder and the first Executive Secretary of the organization. He offered consistent support for SCOLT over the years. Dr. Bostick donated funding for the Bostick Award, which provides two new language teachers the opportunity to attend the SCOLT conference for free each year. He was instrumental in his work with language education in Georgia, in addition to his important roles with SCOLT and FLAG. Dr. Bostick's contributions to SCOLT and to language education are incalculable. He will be sorely missed. Dr. Bostick's obituary can be found here. The SCOLT Board offers sincere condolences to the Bostick family.
