Language Tables in the Residential Colleges Program
Do you speak any of these languages: Chinese, Korean, German, French, Hindi-Urdu & Sanskrit, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog?
We would like to invite you to participate in the Language Tables in the Residential Colleges program! It is sponsored by the Vanderbilt Center for Languages, Campus Dining, the College of Arts and Science and Vice Provost’s Office. The intention is to strengthen our global campus community by providing spaces where students, faculty and staff and people from all parts of the world can share, learn and grow together while engaging in immersive extracurricular language learning.
There are plenty of seats available for Language Table guests! We encourage you, your Vanderbilt colleagues – including graduate and undergraduate students, visiting scholars, post-doctoral students and University guests – from any department on campus, and acquaintances from Nashville to join as a guest for dinner.
