Learn more about the fascinating research behind MLLI and INCC!
Join us for our annual MLLI Research Day, a showcase of virtual mini-presentations by our alumni, faculty, and students. See what ideas are shaping our fields!
This year we will be also hosting an INCC alumni event at 12pm, virtually, in preparation of our INCC 40th anniversary celebration. If you ever wondered what type of jobs a MA degree in Intercultural Communication can lead to, this is a great opportunity to learn from alumni.
