VIDEOCONFERENCE: "GLOBAL EDUCATION BOOT CAMP: WHAT EVERY LEADER NEEDS TO KNOW"


On Wednesday, November 13th, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m., the Planning Office will sponsor the national teleconference, "Global Education Boot Camp: What Every Leader Needs to Know," at the Brighton Campus in Room 3-172.

In the past ten years, increasing numbers of community colleges across the US have begun to establish programs and activities of an international and intercultural nature. In other institutions with long-standing programs, veteran international education directors and coordinators have joined the groundswell of retirements among community college faculty and administrators, opening the door to a new generation of leaders. Join experts from across the United States as a distinguished live panel provides a basic introduction to launching or enhancing an effective international education operation at your college.

From this videoconference you will learn the basics of:
§ Choosing an organizational model for international education at your institution
§ Strategic planning for global initiatives
§ The role of the International Education Director on campus
§ Establishing and managing study abroad programs
§ Working with international students and visa requirements
§ Providing faculty development opportunities
§ Creating international partnerships
§ Developing ESL and diversity initiatives
§ Traveling with groups overseas
§ Identifying resources to support your efforts
