Undergraduate Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We strongly encourage our undergraduate students to explore research opportunities through the Office of Undergraduate Research<\/a> or by talking with faculty in the department. Engaging in research deepens your education and helps to make you a stronger job candidate upon graduation or to enhance your application to a graduate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resources for Teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We disseminate our research in many ways, directed toward multiple audiences, but we are always pleased to be able to share our research through pedagogical tools, presentations, and organizations<\/a> that help other educators to develop and expand their curriculum on global topics and world languages.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
