World Languages and Cultures Open House
When: October 2, 2025
Where: TBD
Join us for the annual Fall Open House to welcome new and returning World Languages Wildcats! Usually scheduled within the first three weeks of classes, the Open House is a community building event that brings together language students who are just starting their language journeys, their senior peers, affiliated student clubs, and World Languages and Cultures (WLC) faculty. The event features games and prizes, international potluck and meet-and-greet activities.
Last year, Open House was held on October 17, 2024, and had over 75 students attending (see picture below). Here is what the organizer, Dra. Christina Torres Garcia, wrote: "It was incredible to see engaged students participating in activities such as Bingo, tabling games, and Kahoot! for two hours. Witnessing the students engaging in meaningful conversation with our professors was even more amazing. Building trust and friendship is the foundation of creating a safe community for our students… Our WLC Open House exemplifies what it means to build community within Querencia. It takes a village—or an entire department—to enhance student retention.”
