Dear Colleagues,
UR will host the national Cultures and Languages across the Curriculum Conference next September 19 & 20. You are welcome to submit a proposal and attend the conference which will be held in
the Commons. Information on the conference and how to submit a proposal is listed below:
The Seventh Annual Conference on Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) will focus on how to grow and sustain CLAC programs. In this time of diminished budgets and the need for assessment
of learning outcomes, attendees at the conference will learn and be able to explain options for different models of CLAC programs and how CLAC programs can enhance other programs on campus.
