Faculty and students are invited to attend the 10th conference of the Cultures and Languages Across Curriculum (CLAC) Consortium on Friday, Oct. 21, and Saturday, Oct. 22, sponsored by World Languages and Cultures. The conference will explore definitions and comprehensive strategies for infusing foreign language, as well as intercultural skill sets and competencies for developing a global mindset, throughout the curriculum. The 2016 theme—Developing Responsible Global Citizenship Through CLAC—emerges from Drake’s longstanding commitment to provide “an exceptional learning environment that prepares students for meaningful personal lives, professional accomplishments, and responsible global citizenship.”

For more information about the workshops, schedule, and registration, please visit http://clac2016.wp.drake.edu/conference-schedule/.

Drake students can attend the conference at a special rate. If you would like to attend but have financial limitations, please contact Marc Pinheiro-Cadd directly at marc.pinheiro-cadd@drake.edu

The primary purpose of CLAC is to provide students with opportunities to use their linguistic and cultural competencies outside of the language classroom. To show our commitment to CLAC, 25 Drake professors now include CLAC options for their students as a result of CLAC workshop participation the past two summers.
