Taught by Chas Brua, Kamie Kim and Meredith Doran, this noncredit seminar series is intended for international graduate students and faculty who would like to learn more about U.S. higher-education culture and to share ideas about effective ways to promote learning in U.S. college classrooms. The seminar will meet on from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 9, Oct. 23 and Nov. 6, in 324 Sackett on the University Park campus.

There is no cost, but registration is requested.
