Welcome to the Language Engagement Project

Welcome Message
The Language Engagement Project (LEP) consists of a series of curricular initiatives, built on two premises: 1) Languages are all around us, and 2) Languages are here at Rutgers. The LEP strives not only to honor this amazing diversity, but to give it a prominent, unprecedented role both in student life and in academics. Its fundamental goal is to embrace and nurture the language culture(s) of Rutgers students, whether they are heritage speakers, native speakers from other countries, or new learners of languages entirely different from their own. Ultimately, the LEP will create a rich “Culture of Language” that is central to all aspects of Rutgers.
