Then, walk around the room and meet new people. When you see a flag you recognize, you join or start a conversation! Who is attending? This event is for all ages. Attendees are often multilingual professionals and multilingual families; international students, globally-minded community members, cultural organizations, and community leaders. All languages are welcome! LingoMix is a multicultural social series that brings people from different backgrounds together through conversation, culture, and language.
