The Love of Languages is a celebration of the commitment to language education at Ohio State. Your support creates meaningful experiences and opportunities for students to elevate their language skills, broaden their global perspectives, prepare for success in any field and to lead with confidence in today’s world. For students like Dorian Locklyn, learning a language is about more than developing a new skill—it’s about building meaningful connections with others.
“I once heard that learning someone’s language is speaking directly to their heart, and I took that to heart. Sociology and psychology help me understand the challenges people face, but language is what allows me to truly connect with them.”
Make a gift today to the Humanities Fund to help students build their language skills, connect with others, and become confident leaders.
