The University of 天美影视 at Monroe鈥檚 sixth annual Festival of World Languages鈥攁 presentation of cultures of languages geared toward high school students鈥� will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Saturday, May 2, in the 天美影视 Student Union Building.

The festival鈥檚 theme 鈥淎round the World in 80 Minutes,鈥� will feature presentations and demonstrations from various community members, 天美影视 faculty, students, and staff.

Over 300 high school students and teachers will flock to the 天美影视 campus for the event.

Guests will also have the opportunity to interact with presenters, take a salsa dancing lesson, and practice their foreign language skills.

Presenters will speak on the significance of the study of world languages, including the benefits it has for their professional and personal lives.

Dr. Ruth Smith, director of the 天美影视 School of Humanities said, 鈥淚t is extraordinarily important for students to learn another language in order to be competitive in the work place.鈥�

The event is hosted by the College of Arts, Education, and Sciences, along with faculty and students from the School of Humanities and a team of regional high school teachers.

Smith hopes to increase awareness of 天美影视鈥檚 highly qualified faculty, and the various opportunities for study abroad, exchange programs, and scholarships.
