Faculty, Students
At this free event, students will have the opportunity to visit tables and speak with different language programs on the Valley Campus. These tables will include items of cultural significance, like clothing, food and art, among other things. Music from different languages and cultures will play while students explore different activities such as board games from other countries, escape room boxes, multilingual VR experiences and multilingual puppet shows. Career panels will occur in the Kirkhof Center that day to give students an opportunity learn why a language degree can benefit their long-term career.
Food trucks will also be available throughout the event to provide unique food options to those that attend!
