World Languages Fair

The 2025 World Languages Fair was held on 18 October.  From 2026 on, the event will be refocused with an emphasis on career exploration and is now called Language Career Launchpad. 

The WLF provides an opportunity for middle- and high-school students to attend mini-lessons in a range of languages, presentations on target cultures, and discussions of how intercultural competence can enhance different fields of study.  There will also be a panel with KU and KSU alumni who are using their language skills in exciting careers and information from local colleges and universities about their language programs, scholarships, and study abroad opportunities. All registered attendees will receive a free lunch and students will have the opportunity to win prizes.
