The Department of Asian Languages and Cultures looks forward to a great 2020-2021 academic year, even if it looks and feels different than any other year we have experienced before. As many of us research, teach, and study remotely this Fall, chances for in-person conversations about ALC and our majors and minors, our courses, and our thriving community of students and faculty may be diminished. But that does not mean we are not here for you, eagerly waiting to answer your questions and welcome you to our department. Please click the contact button for information on how to contact our department faculty and staff members with any questions you may have about our various majors and minors, courses, faculty expertise, language and culture areas, department events and more. We look forward to hearing from you!
