The Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL)  will host the annual UArizona Language Fair on April 17, 2024, an event designed to raise the visibility of the wide range of languages that students study at The University of Arizona. Departments, programs, and UArizona student clubs representing the languages and cultures taught at our institution apply for small grants to fund interactive activities that showcase the languages taught in their departments and spoken in their communities. The event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors to campus.

Participants in the Fair enjoy free food, games and other activities that celebrate the benefits and opportunities that come from communicating in another language.
