Undergraduate Faculty Education Workshop
Organized by the ASHG Undergraduate Subcommittee of the Information and Education Committee.
The workshop will cover human genetics content and pedagogies for faculty who teach biology courses that have significant genetics content. The overarching goal is to encourage effective teaching of human genetics and to improve the genetic literacy of students enrolled in such classes. Not all participants
are formally trained geneticists, but even for those who are, the workshop can be illuminating.
Participation in this workshop is free, but attendance is limited and an advance registration is required. The workshop will be held on Tuesday, October 20, from 7:00 am until 1:30 pm at the Hawaii Convention Center (Room to be announced). Breakfast and lunch will be served.
