The Center for Languages, Literatures and Cultures (CLLC) offers students the intellectual, linguistic and cultural tools needed to succeed personally and professionally in our complex global economy. One of the most valuable traits you can possess is the ability to speak a second or multiple languages.  You will not only be more marketable professionally, but will increase your worth and effectiveness to future employers.  Knowing an additional language makes you a better global citizen, enriches your personal life and gives you a strong voice in the world.  Whatever your professional aspirations, consider the benefits of double majoring with a language or choosing a language minor.  Ohio State offers you the ability to study, major or minor in over 30 languages.  You can enhance your skills by interacting with peers in the one-of-a-kind Crane Café, enrolling in Service Learning courses that will connect you with multiple language communities in Central Ohio, and participating in a diverse array of short- and long-term education abroad opportunities.

Emery Brown, Professor of Anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and Edward Hood Taplin Professor of Medical Engineering and Computational Neuroscience at MIT, will present The Rhythms of the Unconscious Brain Under General Anesthesia.  General anesthesia, a drug-induced reversible coma, allows patients to humanely undergo surgeries and invasive diagnostic procedures. Brown explains that under general anesthesia the brain is controlled by highly organized oscillations. Study of these oscillations resolves the long-standing mystery of general anesthesia and offers new insights into the brain's fundamental workings.  Read more.
