What Do We Mean by Bilingual?
Bilingualism encompasses the ability to communicate, learn, teach, work, and engage across two or more languages. At the University of Arizona, bilingual initiatives may include academic programs, courses, research, professional development, student support, community engagement, and other opportunities that recognize and build upon multilingual knowledge and skills.
Advancing Bilingualism at the University of Arizona

There are many opportunities available for students, staff, and faculty. Whether you are a student looking for opportunities, an instructor developing bilingual curriculum, a staff member serving multilingual communities, or a community partner interested in collaboration, there are many ways to get involved.
