Global Advocacy Certificate Program 2020-2021: International Graduate Student Panel
Global Advocacy Certificate Program (GACP) Workshop Description
We learn about diverse others and their cultures by listening to their voices. This workshop will feature a panel of graduate international students from nations most represented at ASU. Students will share about their educational backgrounds and their experiences while at ASU. The workshop will include a reflective activity on empathy and awareness.
About the Global Advocacy Certificate Program (GACP)
The Global Advocacy Certificate Program (GACP) is for ASU faculty and staff who desire to cultivate a globally-minded campus. Participants will broaden their awareness of intercultural topics and learn specific strategies for supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students and scholars in the classroom and workplace to promote a more diverse community for all.
All ASU faculty and staff — including GACP certificate holders — are invited to attend workshops for ongoing learning, regardless of their intentions to receive a certificate. Participation will be recorded as professional development training on ASU’s Career Edge.
