Student Organizations & Activities in Global Languages & Cross-Cultural Studies
Activities and student organizations are important parts of the campus community and the college experience. While every student organization is slightly different, you may find several that interest you. It's our mission to help you bond with other students over common goals and interests, learn and take part in various activities outside of the classroom.
Global Languages Organization (GLO)
The Global Languages Club (GLO) is a student-driven organization that welcomes all UIndy students. The Club looks to create a campus space for students interested in different cultures, languages, music, food, and more. Every year, the Club offers various activities, always focusing on learning about the various cultural practices on our campus and city. The Club visits local international restaurants, museums and exhibitions, and international markets. It also hosts events on campus like cooking classes, trivia nights, snacks from around the world and movies from around the world.

Spanish Conversation Tables
Spanish conversation tables, led by students, provide a fun way for students to practice speaking and understanding a language in a relaxed, informal environment. When you are learning Spanish, participating in language conversation tables can serve as great preparation for your end-of-semester oral exam. And no matter what skill level you're at, these meetings are guaranteed to help you become more proficient in the language. Some conversation tables even use games to facilitate conversation, such as Taboo and Pictionary in Spanish. Check with your language professors and/or student coordinators for times and locations of conversation tables. Every student who wants to practice their Spanish is welcome to attend.

Movie Nights
We present four films per semester, rotating among films in French, German and Spanish languages with discussion before and after each screening. These films explore cultural differences and struggles, and are presented in various dialects within each language. Movie nights are LP credit approved and are open to all students. Learn about the recent Spanish film showing, "Chavela" to get a better idea of what movie nights are like.
