USFSP Bay to Bay Learning Symposium 2019 -- Poster Presentation -- "Internationalizing the Curriculum to Promote Engagement among Students of Different Countries an Cultures" -- February 2019

I was delighted to participate in the 2019 USFSP Bay to Bay Learning Symposium. This year's theme is "Diversity in Action."

I presented a poster during the "Idea Lab Happy Hour" session at the conference:

"Diversity in Action: Internationalizing the Curriculum to Promote Engagement among Students of Different Countries and Cultures"

I showcased 5 projects that I have implemented in my courses over the last few years that have provided opportunities for my students in St. Petersburg to collaborate with partners overseas. Thanks so much to my colleagues at SEEU, UKIM, SNSPA, State University of Moldova, and the Women Lawyer's Group of the Middle East -- and to the Fulbright and ACYPL programs that connected me with these scholars. I also included blog posts under each of the projects, so you can learn more about the implementation.
