About the Center

The Center for Language & Intercultural Global Connection is an academic center dedicated to advancing the study and practice of world languages as essential to ethical leadership, global citizenship, and intercultural understanding. While it supports students and faculty in the Departments of Modern Language Studies and Spanish and Hispanic Studies, the Center also invites the broader TCU community to engage in meaningful exploration of languages and cultures as interconnected pathways to knowledge and global awareness.

Guided by TCU’s dedication to foster ethical leadership and global citizenship, the Center promotes integrity, engagement, community, and excellence through its programs and activities. It offers flexible learning and teaching spaces, language resources, professional development for faculty and educators, and opportunities for scholarly and cultural exchange.

Through conversation hours, faculty talks, workshops, honor society inductions, film screenings, and collaborative events across disciplines, the Center cultivates critical inquiry, intercultural competence, and a deeper appreciation of how language shapes human connection in a global society.

We invite all members of the TCU community to visit the Center for Language & Intercultural Global Connection and discover our diverse programs, clubs, and activities. Whether you’re looking to deepen your language skills, engage with global cultures, or participate in enriching events, the Center offers something for everyone passionate about languages and intercultural exchange. Join us and be part of a vibrant community committed to learning, connection, and growth.
