The Center for Cultures, Languages and Societies is inspired by the diversity and richness of FSCJ’s student body and multiple communities. Through the Center, students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to immerse themselves in various languages, arts and culture from around the globe.

Students can engage in a variety of activities and programs at the dedicated space at Kent Campus (F-118A). They can converse with others who speak a specific language, hold a book club, watch a television series, or play video games, all in a language they desire to learn or teach others.

The Center will be expanding to all FSCJ campuses. Be on the lookout for our Language Tables (free conversation), ethnic oriented culinary experiences (lunches), gaming, news sharing, speakers and more!
