The FLTAs attend 10 large- and small-group sessions in the Whitman School of Management, totaling over 14 meeting hours. Sessions are conducted by various members of the University community, including the director of the Slutzker Center for International Services, a Human Resources director, staff from Online Learning Services, and faculty and staff from the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics (LLL) and the Department of Anthropology.
