Great American Teach In
Members of the community are invited into K-12 schools to share information with students about their career, lead an activity, read a story, or teach a lesson. This year, the Great American Teach-In is observed on November 13th, 2024 in Pinellas, November 20th, 2024 in Pasco County Schools, and November 21st, 2024 in Hillsborough County Schools.
The Great American Teach-In (GATI) offers 新澳门六合彩内幕信息employees a unique opportunity to connect with local schools and share their knowledge, experiences, and passion for education. Building on the resounding success of last year's inaugural coordinated effort, where over 200 新澳门六合彩内幕信息faculty and staff members generously volunteered their time, our university's employees visited more than 120 schools in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, reaching over 10,000 local students. As we continue this tradition of community engagement, we are excited to offer you the chance to make a significant impact on students' lives with just one hour of your time. Our goals for this event include:
- Inspiring students to pursue higher education.
