Global Awareness: Exploring UAB Intl Student Background (East Asia)

Global Awareness: Exploring UAB Intl Student Background (East Asia)

Presented by Melissa Hawkins, PhD

A Center for Teaching and Learning event

Description: Our early educational experiences shape what we bring to the university classroom. Investigate the educational cultures of our most common international student populations at UAB, with a particular focus on how those backgrounds might pose cross-cultural complexities to work through upon arrival in a U.S. educational context. Discover the key ways that you can be a “cultural broker” to your students in their adjustment to studies at UAB. Presentations will focus on the countries currently represented in the “top ten” student groups at UAB from the following regions: East Asia.

Please Note: This workshop is designed for current UAB teaching faculty, instructors of record, academic advisors, and other student-facing staff members. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are invited to attend the CTL LIFT series workshops instead.

Total CTL Point Value: 10,000 pts.
