The Department of Languages hosted the annual Language and International Business Conference (formerly the Language and International Trade Conference) on March 13 in the Hendrix Student Center. The conference provides leadership opportunities to students of foreign languages, promotes awareness of international businesses in Upstate South Carolina, and gives students networking and job opportunities. The theme of this year’s event was “applying language in the global marketplace.” The 2019 conference included a keynote speech by Justin Prescott, a Clemson alumnus and Senior Consultant at Ernst and Young in Tokyo; a panel discussion with Chamber of Commerce members; and a roundtable discussion with Clemson students and international business leaders.
