Department of Global Languages and Cultures

Support global engagement and language learning!

The Global Languages & Cultures (GELL) Center at NAU offers students immersive experiences in world languages and cultures through engaging events such as international game nights, dance parties, and cultural workshops.

Your donation to the Modern Language Fund directly supports scholarships for language study and study abroad, as well as mini-grants for conference travel and research presentations. By contributing, you empower students to gain invaluable global experiences and develop career-ready skills that prepare them for success in an interconnected world.

Join us in expanding horizons and fostering cultural understanding through your generous support on NAU Giving Day!
