Whether you're supporting a recitation, leading a lab section, grading for a large lecture, designing and teaching your own course, or want additional training related to teaching, this orientation will focus on unique needs and challenges international GTAs might face in the U.S. classroom.

Audience: All new international graduate students who will have a position as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) during the 2018-2019 academic year. Those who do not have a GTA position, or who are unsure if they will, are also welcome to attend to gain skills for future teaching activities. Additionally, while this event is geared toward new international GTAs, international graduate students who are continuing with their degrees beyond their first year are also welcome to attend; please contact us directly to register.

Attendance is highly encouraged for international GTAs. Some academic units require attendance. Please check with your program if you are unsure whether your attendance is required.

For more information or disability accommodations, contact Karen Hanson by August 15. Includes lunch.

Students will receive an email invitation to register.
