GlobalThis series of workshops centers the multilingual and international student experience.
Through this series, we aim to support instructors in fostering linguistically and culturally inclusive mindsets and spaces and in establishing asset-based practices that promote inclusion and support learning. These sessions will be equal parts presentation of content and participant discussion.
Sessions are facilitated by Dr. LeeAnne Godfrey, Minnesota English Language Program (MELP), and Dr. Ann Smith, International Student Academic Integration (ISAI), Office of Curriculum Internationalization, Global Programs and Strategy Alliance.
These workshops are currently not open to non-UMN participants.
