Impact Awards Summer Series: Teaching East Asia through Picture Books
Thursday, August 6, 2026 11am
(Virtual event)
In this session from Campus Compact's Impact Awards Summer Series , ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ's own Lynn Kalinauskas (Director of the Program for Teaching East Asia) will present on the award-winning Teaching East Asia through Picture Books program.
Spanning three years to date (2024-2026), the program trains University of Colorado Boulder students as interns who develop research and teaching skills, commitment to global education, cultural diversity and civic mindedness through service. Each CU student works on a picture book that focuses on a specific region of East Asia and a theme (natural sciences in 2024, geography in 2025 and biography in 2026). Mentored by staff from the Program for Teaching East Asia, the interns conduct research, develop a lesson and activity based on their book and practice the needed skills to work with young students across Colorado.
