What Can You Expect?

The World Languages Fair is a free event that will provide opportunities to students. It will give middle and high-school students a chance to learn more about language programs. The organizers partnered with several organizations including the Foreign Language Association of Missouri and the Kansas World Language Association. Faculty from prestigious universities have joined the presenters of past conferences.

The conference is for young students who want to study languages in college. Proposals are welcome from post-secondary in the area. Aside from the usual discussions, there will be an Information Fair. This fair is set during the lunch hour. That is the time set aside for the participants to talk to the representatives of different schools.

The conference is a time for students to learn about language programs. This kind of event can help explain career paths that are not usually explored. The best source of information for these career paths are educators and school representatives. For the schools, the fair is a chance to reach potential students.
