UAB celebrates the diversity of its student body. Learning to teach with great intention and impact in this diverse context is a worthy professional development goal for all of us, and the Global Awareness workshop series at the CTL purposes to help you meet your goals for learning best practices in this area. Among the multiple offerings at the CTL this month are three workshops in the Global Awareness series, all of which count towards earning the Global Awareness certificate.
