World Languages & Cultures Student Club

The World Languages and Cultures (WLC) Student Club is a vibrant community dedicated to exploring and celebrating global cultures through language and meaningful cross-cultural discussions. Our mission is to create an inclusive space where students can engage with diverse perspectives, broaden their understanding of the world, and develop their language skills in an immersive and interactive environment.

Through dynamic language tables we foster connections that transcend borders and deepen appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity. Join us for language tables in French, Japanese, German, Spanish, and English. Contact us if you are a native or heritage speaker or advanced learner of a language that you would like to host.
