The Consortium sponsors periodic workshops, colloquia, and other events; some of these are open to all interested individuals, while others are restricted to invited participants only. Language departments and centers at member institutions also organize events – lectures, foreign film series, professional development workshops, symposia – of interest to language educators and others. "The Director's Desktop" provides the Executive Director a space to highlight current or future activities within the Consortium as well as select items of interest to the language teaching community at large. Consult the "Events" page for more extensive announcements of upcoming activities sponsored by the Consortium or by member institutions. Descriptions of past Consortium "Conferences and Colloquia" and "Workshops" appear on their respective pages.
