WLD 2025 is scheduled for Monday, February 3rd. Please see last year's schedule below (held in October 2023). We will update the 2025 schedule here when it is finalized. We can't wait to see you in February!
The School of Languages and Linguistics and the College of Liberal Arts hosted the 48th annual World Languages and Cultures Day on Tuesday, October 3rd. There were 1000 high school students who attended the event. The students came from 14 area schools and were brought by 40 language teachers. After a Welcome from the School led by Brianna Janssen Sánchez, Associate Dean Jennifer Smith gave a welcome address, and students participated in the "Guess the Language" game. Following the welcome session, students attended breakout sessions for the rest of the morning. These sessions were led by SLL faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students, along with other volunteers from throughout CoLA and across the SIU campus.
