Meet the Presenters: Once each semester there is an on-campus workshop for teachers interested in having a presenter in their classes. At this workshop, presenters showcase topic ideas and activities and converse with teachers about expectations and curricular integration.
Public events: Teachers and their students are welcome to attend all internationally oriented public events at Juniata such as the annual international film series, which is free and open to the public once the college reopens after the pandemic.
Special Events: Periodically, Juniata offers special topics workshops. For example, teachers met with Juniata's visiting Fulbright Scholar from Pakistan to expand their knowledge of Pakistani and Middle Eastern culture and politics.
