You Don't Want To Miss This! #GLAG18 Is Almost Here

Are you interested in "globalizing" your agriculturally-focused instruction?  The Global Learning Conference in Agriculture is designed to help you create global learning opportunities for students in any agricultural discipline.

What is GLAG?

The Global Learning Conference in Agriculture (GLAG) Conference is designed to help you create global learning opportunities for students in any agricultural discipline.

GLAG is aimed towards current secondary, post-secondary, and pre-service agriscience educators of all disciplines, extension educators, and vendors and stakeholders in global learning, but anyone is welcome to register! The GLAG program believes that purposeful, meaningful global learning can occur on and off campus, and that there should be coordination from all levels of agricultural education to ensure maximum student growth on the global competency continuum.

When:

Events for #GLAG18 will be taking place the entire week of January 22nd to 26th. The week-long conference concludes with the LIVE session held on Friday from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST. Check out the 2018 Conference Agenda for more information.
