Language Center records, 1989-2009 | Carleton College Archives

These records were compiled by Cynthia Shearer in her role as director of the various incarnations of Carleton's Language Center/Laboratory from 1989-2009. The collection primarily focuses on the design and planning of the original Modern Langauge Center in 1990 as well as the Langauge Center as a part of the Language and Dining Center (LDC) opened in 2001. Discussions surrounding the placement of a satellite dish on campus as well as acoustical requirements for the Language Lab in the LDC are documented. Included are proposals and recommendations by John Evans (class of 1991) during his time as a student assistant in the Language Center and as an alum.

Also included are manuals, forms, policies, and procedures for student use of the Language Lab. Copies of 1991-1993 issues of "All Call," the newsletter of the Midwest Association of Learning Laboratories, edited by Cynthia Shearer, Steve Morgan (class of 1991), and Brett Anderson (class of 1992) with graphics by Eric Gerecke (class of 1991) and Ling Hsiao (class of 1995) are also included.
