About this Event
Successful engagement of international students is an integral part of DePaul’s VISION 2018 strategic plan, which calls for faculty to be “focused on globalization, curricular innovation and preparedness to teach in a global classroom.” This interactive workshop will engage participants in identifying and addressing the cultural, linguistic and social challenges for the 1,600+ international students from nearly 80 countries at DePaul.
