2. Getting Started
with
GAFE
This session will be a discussion on planning how to introduce the GAFE to
faculty and students. I will share the process we used to create a successful
program at our school including faculty and student training, as well as
integration. Don't think it is all roses at the start. We have had struggles as well
as success!
