Global Conversations is a monthly seminar series that focuses on a different region of the world, shares opportunities on how to get involved within the region, and features CALS faculty, staff, students, alumni, and partner experiences within the region.
These will be virtual events, with an opportunity to hear from speakers as well as engage in meaningful conversation. We value inclusion and access for all participants and are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations for full participation in this event. For questions, accommodations, and additional information contact Julia Frangul (julia.frangul@wisc.edu)
Global Conversations will return in Fall 2023.
