VINCENT TEETSOV

On the afternoon of Sunday November 29th, via Zoom, the 101st anniversary of the University of Tartu as Estonia’s national and Estonian language university was celebrated.

Academic life has changed dramatically in the era of COVID-19. But technology enabled the event to succeed, demonstrating that connections to the university and the Estonian language remain robust in North America.

This anniversary was commemorated side-by-side with the involvement of väliseesti külalisprofessor (visiting professor from the Estonian diaspora), David Ilmar Lepasaar Beecher from the University of California, Berkeley; a professor of history and political science.
