June 6 Symposium      on Cross-Cultural Collaboration & Service Learning

Picture
In cooperation with the Center for Teaching & Learning

Schedule of Events


Cross-Cultural Collaboration
 - faculty roundtable discussion
10:30 AM - 12 PM 

Trade stories and ideas with other Stanford faculty whose courses center on international collaboration. We will collectively generate a set of "promising practices" based on the group's experiences, as we strive to improve courses that cross borders and cultures—for students, faculty, and community partners alike.


Urban Sustainability Expo
12-5 PM (Location: Y2E2 Red Atrium)
Guided tours 12-1:30 PM

View urban sustainability projects jointly created by teams from Stanford and Tsinghua University. Issues include promoting walking and walkable streets, disseminating air pollution data to the public, facilitating energy-efficient green trucking practices, and re-imagining the youth hostel experience. (View detailed project descriptions).

The exhibits will remain in the atrium throughout Friday, but the live interaction with student teams will conclude at 1:30 PM.


Service-Learning Workshop Round Robin in cooperation with the Center on Teaching & Learning
1:15 PM - 2:45 PM (Location: Y2E2 101)

Current participants present their proposed courses in a round-robin format, and workshop alumni from previous quarters will talk about the integration of service learning in current courses. An informal presentation of successes and lessons learned.


Design Showcase: Urban Sustainability
& Student Reflections on Service Learning 

3 PM - 5 PM  (Location: Y2E2 299)

Teams from Stanford and Tsinghua University present their final projects created for the International Urbanization Seminar (URBANST145) and reflect on the service-learning experience. View project descriptions here. A valuable opportunity for faculty to learn from those closest to the service-learning process—the students themselves.
