whether those learners are undergraduate or graduate students, faculty or staff, or friends and family of our community.

We focus on providing this support in three main ways:

  1. Academics: Offering courses not offered elsewhere, such as Linguistics, English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and Kiswahili (Swahili language).

  2. Opportunities & Resources: Providing opportunities and removing barriers for students to advance and professionalize their language skills through structured résumé-building experiences.

  3. Outreach: Collaborating with faculty, staff, and the South Bend community to encourage intercultural curiosity and linguistic awareness.
