WFU faculty and staff encouraged to attend Workshop on International Skills Enhancement

A message from Wake Forest’s Center for Global Programs and Studies

Established 16 years ago the Workshop on Intercultural Skills Enhancement (WISE) has grown into an internationally-recognized conference for staff and faculty to develop the knowledge and skills needed to help students advance their intercultural capacity and awareness.

The Center for Global Programs and Studies encourages members of the Wake Forest community to attend WISE, February 8-10, on the Reynolda Campus. The plenary keynote on Thursday afternoon may be of particular interest as Tara Harvey addresses the “Shifting Paradigm Around Intercultural Learning in Higher Education.”

The full schedule and session descriptions are available on the WISE website. If interested in attending one of the Pre- or Post-Conference Workshops, contact wiseconference@wfu.edu; limited registration grants are available.
