Program for UALE 2018 Northeast
All students attend classes designed to teach and improve leadership skills. In addition, each student chooses two workshops, which meet daily. Summer school instructors are union officers and staff and labor educators from universities and unions. Experts on current union issues are invited as guest speakers and will share their knowledge throughout the week.
