Language Appreciation Circles
The Asian American Pacific Islander Resource Center (AAPIRC) offers language circles for students, staff, faculty, and community members looking to reconnect with their heritage languages. The program also welcomes non-AAPI members interested in learning these languages for personal or professional growth, fostering cultural exchange across the UNM community.
In the 2022-2023 academic year, we held successful Language Appreciation Circles (LAC) in Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Urdu/Hindi.
For 2023-2024, we continued with Urdu/Hindi sessions, attracting a consistent group of participants.
This year, we are working to re-establish the Vietnamese and Urdu/Hindi circles.
