🎤 GUAVA Member Highlight/Corner

The GUAVA Member Highlight/Corner is a professional-sharing series launched in Fall 2025 to celebrate the creativity, innovation, and dedication of Vietnamese language educators. Held once per semester, this virtual event provides a platform for GUAVA members to share classroom-tested practices, teaching strategies, and impactful projects with colleagues across the U.S. and beyond.

Each session features two/three short presentations in an informal setting, creating space for practical idea exchange and community building. Presentations are recorded and made available on the GUAVA website and newsletter to ensure broader access to shared knowledge and resources.

All GUAVA members are welcome to apply. Presenters receive a small honorarium and have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the collective growth of Vietnamese language education.
