2021 EPIC Symposium: Integrating Global Topics Into Community College Curricula
At the annual Education Partnership for Internationalizing Curriculum (EPIC) Symposium, community college faculty and administrators from across California will gather virtually to discuss ways to prepare students for a world that is increasingly interconnected. Join us for our sixth annual symposium about the challenges and opportunities of developing global studies at community colleges.
The day will include presentations from Stanford faculty as well as community college professors who have collaborated with Stanford University partners to integrate international topics into their curricula. Presentations will feature adapted lesson plans and course material as well as strategies for reaching diverse student populations. This event is free and open to all community college faculty, administrators, librarians, and counselors.
