Each session will include a very brief introduction to the weekly topic, a guided meditation and then a short group reflection. No registration required. 

Inclusive Teaching Workshop: Syllabus Tune-up (FC70) 
Wed, April 13, 2022 
2:30 – 4:00PM 
TB 225D-A  
While the syllabus is a familiar feature in an academic course, we often overlook strategies to design a syllabus that is inclusive. Whether you are an experienced or new faculty member, participants will have the opportunity to develop or assess a syllabus for a range of components such as tone, policies, statements, and transparency. By creating a clear and welcoming syllabus, we can more readily engage students in our courses. If possible, please bring a syllabus with you.

Students enrolled in for-credit classes at Salt Lake Community College or Salt Lake Technical College for the 2022 Summer Semester will receive one federal COVID relief check of $500 or $750. The amount students will receive depends upon Pell eligibility. Qualifying students who are Pell-eligible will receive one payment of $750, and qualifying students who are not Pell-eligible will receive one payment of $500. Eligibility for the grant is not dependent upon citizenship status.

Whether global expansion adds or destroys value depends on your company's ability to build the necessary local capabilities in the different markets and manage the global network effectively. In this course, join Anil Gupta and Haiyan Wang, two of the world's foremost experts on global strategy, as they step through how to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs and risks when leading a company which spans multiple markets.
