We are pleased to invite you to the fourth installation of the Institute for World Languages (IWL)  Dinner Table from 6:30 – 8:00PM on Wednesday, October 26 in Ruffner 302. The IWL Language Dinner is an event designed to bring together students of diverse backgrounds who are passionate about learning world languages and cultures and to give them an opportunity to interact with other language learners in a casual and welcoming setting. 

During this event, students of foreign languages from around the UVa community will enjoy a free catered dinner while seated at one of many different language tables. When you sign up, you will indicate which language you are studying, and we will seat you at a table with other students who are studying the same foreign language. All table conversations will be conducted in the target language, providing you with an opportunity for full immersion! We hope that by providing a dynamic, informal social setting, students will have the chance to interact meaningfully in their target language while meeting people who share similar interests.

Seats will be filled on a first come, first served basis, so please RSVP as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate everyone who signs up, although there is a chance that certain languages will not have enough sign-ups to fill a table. We will notify you as soon as possible should this be the case.

Please contact the IWL student representatives if you have any questions.
