Bringing Language to the Admissions Discussion

This will be a round table discussion focused on the ways that college admissions counselors can encourage and engage language learners and speakers. There is a missing link in this process that would be a game changer for universities and for students if the value proposition as language connected to all learning areas could become a part of the conversation. Join us to hear from stakeholders and share ideas as we explore the possibilities.
