World Languages Fair

We all know languages help bridge the cultural gap, but more importantly, they bridge the hearts. At the World Languages Fair, students, faculty, and staff can not only get to know what languages the University of Minnesota has to offer, but also the languages represented by the international community on campus. Come to join us!
