Diversity Day 2009
According to Lansing's Refugee Development Center as many as 500 new arrivals from around the world resettle in Lansing, which makes our community among the top 10 cities in the nation for global refugee resettlement. Mid-Michigan regionally gains 13,000 international immigrants, representing 20 ethnicities each year.
This fun, family event shines a spotlight on Lansing's diversity. Last year's event featured over 25 exhibits and nearly 2,000 people turned out to celebrate the rich multicultural heritage of our community.

Michigan State University is known worldwide for its commitment to international education in an era of ever-increasing globalization. With more than 200 study abroad programs and approximately 50 languages offered on campus, MSU is one of the leading universities in the country for internationalizing the student experience.
On Saturday, April 18, 2009, MSU will again invite hundreds of high school students, teachers, administrators, and parents to campus to explore a world of languages during the Fifth Annual World Languages Day. Free to all participants, this day-long conference will focus on the experiences that languages offer, and highlight the opportunities available for language and international study at MSU.
