Fall 2007 Teacher's Workshop: "HEALTH & HEALING IN SOUTHEAST ASIA"

The teachers workshop took place with great success despite the storm weather on Saturday, December 1, 2007, with 18 enthusiastic teachers and other educators in attendance from Madison, LaCrosse, Milwaukee, and Verona! One of workshop themes was the potential SYNERGY that can occur when the University, K-12 schools and the Community work together effectively in mutually supportive problems.
