9th CLAC Conference
Hosted by Denison University
April 16-17, 2015

The Spring 2015 conference on Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) focuses on building relationships to serve an expanded population. At this 9th conference CLAC is reflecting on past achievements and planning future directions. Currently there is increased national attention on and support for developing international and cross-cultural perspectives in the curriculum. Programs like 100K Strong in the Americas and Generation Study Abroad create even more opportunities to spotlight the role of CLAC principles/practices in shaping the next “generation of leaders who can reach across borders” whether physical, linguistic, cultural, or curricular.

The organizers invite proposals for papers, panels, or poster presentations on any issue relating to CLAC, although the following topics are of particular interest:

 Inter-institutional CLAC collaborations
 Global Course Connections and CLAC
 Experiential learning and CLAC
 The role of CLAC in the Community College
