To celebrate Cornell’s commitment to fostering global literacy and cross-cultural understanding, the Language Resource Center in the College of Arts and Sciences hosts World Languages Day — an event that shares with middle and high school students the diverse opportunities available for language learning on a university campus and the importance of connecting with people across the globe.
For the first time, this year’s event, on Oct. 26, is open to all middle and high school students from throughout the community. Pre-registration for this free event is required.
“By involving all members of the Cornell community in World Languages Day, we create bridges between and among individuals and cultures,” said Angelika Kraemer, director of the Language Resource Center.
The four-year-old event is organized by the Language Resource Center and Upward Bound and sponsored by many campus units, as well as the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement.
