LCAL Student Advisory Council
We are a group of Carnegie Mellon University students, faculty and staff who collaborate together to design content and organize events not only for Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics at CMU but for the greater Pittsburgh community.
While LCALSAC members may be pursuing different courses of study, they’re united by a shared appreciation for language learning and a desire to teach other students the benefits of studying languages and cultures.
What does LCALSAC do?
We organize and participate in many creative projects such as student podcasts, social media content creation, event organization and more. We host multicultural activities including potlucks, UC late-night events, Polyglot Café (multilingual conversation over hot beverages and snacks) and an international film and food event held each spring.
LCALSAC serves as a liaison between Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics students, faculty and administrators by sharing ideas and suggestions for improvement. Joining the committee is a great way to meet students who are interested in learning about different cultures and languages. It is a great way to represent the student voice of the Department of Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics and to get involved.
