This workshop will be organized into 3 panels, in which panelists and audience members will have the chance to express opinions and discuss topics surrounding learning and transfer. We are looking forward to your participation. Please invite members of your community whom may be interested in discussing these topics. Catered lunches and beverages will be provided.
