Redefining Student Learning Abroad:new directions and opportunitiesCIEE Annual <strong>Conference</strong>November 16-19, 2011

Welcome to<strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong>!Redefining Student Learning Abroad:new directions and opportunitiesA shift is taking place in study abroad—a shift from the traditional paradigm focused onteachers and content to a new paradigm focused on process and learning outcomes,on student-centered teaching, and on assessment of learning. Over the past decade,an exploration of theory and practice has been taking place on U.S. campuses, andtransforming student learning through education abroad has become a priority. Everyoneengaged in international education—study abroad staff, university administration, providers,and faculty—is in the process of redefining teaching and learning, at home and overseas.While many study abroad professionals understand a shift is taking place, many questionsexist on how best to advise students, redesign courses, and market programs. At the sametime, resources have diminished and study abroad offices are trying to do more with less.As a result, addressing this shift has become even more challenging.The 2011 CIEE <strong>Conference</strong> will address ways your office and your institution can betterunderstand the shift and the opportunities it offers to you and your students. We will explorepartnerships with other institutions, consortia, and providers, and together we will redefinethis new reality while embracing a collaborative, outcomes-based approach to study abroad.

CIEE Student and <strong>Program</strong> RecognitionCIEE has long been dedicated to the goal of giving back to the communities in which our programs operate, creating an environment whereour students and staff become involved not only in short-term projects during a semester, but through sustainable relationshipsand projects that endure beyond a single term or group of students. This year, CIEE recognizes students and programs that particularlyexemplify the goal of long-term, community-based commitments.CIEE Student Recognition AwardsUri Whang, Washington and Lee University: CIEE Study Center in Seoul, KoreaJust after her arrival in Seoul, Uri was awarded $10,000 from the Davis Projects for Peace and the Johnson Opportunity Grant to fundThe BACK Project (Benefitting All Children in Korea-CIEE Brings Educational Equality BACK), a program to provide English learningopportunities to North Korean refugee students. In Korea, learning English is considered a must to get ahead and most Korean studentshave tutors and attend cram schools to ensure that they learn English, a huge expense that the North Korean refugee students cannotafford. Uri’s goal was to level the playing field by helping them learn English while also exposing them to other learning opportunities.Before the first meeting with the North Korean refugee students, Uri put together a curriculum of exercises and activities to be conducted twoSaturdays per month throughout the semester, solicited volunteers from among CIEE participants, and held an orientation for the CIEE volunteers tohelp them understand the North Korean refugees’ situation. Uri used some of the grant money to purchase teaching materials, and used approximately$8,000 of the grant to purchase English language books and shelves to create a library in each of the two schools where students are working.What Uri has done has not only provided a wonderful opportunity for the North Korean refugee students to improve their English languageknowledge and ability but also provided the CIEE participants an opportunity to improve their Korean language skills, increase theirunderstanding of a unique segment of Korean society, and to do something for students who are struggling to get the kind of educationalopportunities that others take for granted. Moreover, Uri has laid the groundwork for the CIEE Study Center in Seoul to continue The BACKProject for the benefit of future CIEE participants and young Koreans.Ping Matching GrantsEach year CIEE awards Ping Matching Grants, funded through a small endowment and named after Dr. Charles Ping, a former Chairman ofthe CIEE Board of Directors. The Grants are designed to allow local organizations or companies carry out new activities which will benefittheir local communities and to allow CIEE students to give something back to the communities in which they study. We would like torecognize the work that staff and students at the CIEE Study Centers in these locations have done in conjunction with these organizations.Building Youth Leaders through Mural Arts, ALEPH, CIEE Study Center in Santo Domingo, Dominican RepublicThis innovative project used mural arts as a method to build leadership and reduce violence among young urban men and women(ages 12–25) in the Dominican Republic. The project identified and trained youth leaders in a constructive dialogue and visioning process,and in the design and implementation of a large-scale mural project in an underprivileged community in Santo Domingo. CIEE studentsparticipated in community assessments and documentation (including blogging), and in the actual visioning and painting processes as well.The result is a stunning work of art and visual reminder of the ongoing commitment of youth leaders working toward sustainable, social,environmental, and economic development in their community.Village Pigsty Project, Tshongkha Charity Association, CIEE Study Center in Shanghai, ChinaThis grant supported a community initiative to build pigsties in a rural, ethnically Tibetan region of China. In addition to improvingsanitation, convenience, and food yield for the villagers, the pigsties provide social and economic advantages, as the pigs will no longerbe the cause of crop destruction. The pigsties have contributed to a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous community.Bathhouse Health Project, Village People Project, CIEE Study Center in Shanghai, ChinaFollowing a similarly successful project in Xifeng, this project built a bathhouse in Sanquan, a remote and impoverished village in the ShaanxiProvince in northwest China. The project addressed two vital issues: health and women’s status. The lack of warm running water has historicallyhad adverse effects on villagers’ health, particularly women’s health. Also, the bathhouse provides new economic and social opportunities forsome of the more vulnerable villagers (the very old and young, and women). CIEE students were involved in the assessment of the success of theproject (data collection and reporting), as well as experiencing the daily operations during a village visit. The CIEE Study Center in Shanghailooks forward to future collaboration with the Village People Project.2011 Ping Matching Grant projects are well underway in France and China.

The panel presentation will introduce the audience to two different ambassador programs as case studies,with a university representative contributing first-hand experience. This solid foundation will provide the necessary background to launchengaging group discussions. The panelists’ diverse experiences apply to a range of audience members, from study abroad advisors to programdirectors and marketing officers. With ample time for discussion, this session offers interactive learning and the opportunity to build a network ofcolleagues to engage with as participants build and enhance their programs.From Research into Practice: Fifteen Years of Studies in International Education Roosevelt Salon 3Chair: Hans de Wit, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, and JSIEPresenter: Michael Vande Berg, CIEEOver the past fifteen years, research in international education in general and on study abroad in particular, has increased dramatically. Thepast decade alone saw the publication of more than a thousand articles, chapters, and books reporting study abroad research findings. CIEEhas played a significant historical role in this surge of interest: it created the Journal of Studies in International Education in 1996 and hascontinued to co-sponsor the journal ever since. This session’s speakers, Hans de Wit (JSIE editor) and Michael Vande Berg (CIEE Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs), will explore main trends in research in international education and study abroad during those years; after identifyingprimary sources of information and key research challenges, they will facilitate a conversation with the audience about the extent to whichstudy abroad professionals and faculty who design and lead programs abroad are linking research and practice.Challenges and Opportunities with U.S. Higher Education and Roosevelt Salon 4Study Abroad in the Arabian GulfChair: John Battenburg, American University of SharjahPresenters: Miranda Battenburg, CIEE; Adam Rubin, CIEEThis presentation deals with creating programs, offering academic and cultural experiences, and advising study abroad students in theArabian Gulf. Issues to be considered when establishing programs include funding, faculty support, public relations, and security. Relevantcourses and activities that highlight the Gulf should also be included in such programs. Along with language and culture, topics such as Islamicbanking and architecture should be introduced. Finally, recommendations will be made to student advisors on the types of students who wouldbenefit most from participating in programs in the Gulf as opposed to programs in other parts of the Arab World.The Intentional Core Curriculum and Study Abroad: Roosevelt Salon 5How Colleges and Universities Utilize Education Abroad to ComplementValues and Outcomes Driven General Education RequirementsChair: Joan Gore, The Foundation for International EducationPresenters: Phyllis Brown, Santa Clara University; Isabel Roche, Bennington College; Therese Eyermann, California State University–Channel IslandsColleges and universities struggle to create general education requirements they perceive will enable their graduates to function as informedcitizens capable of critical inquiry and intelligent decision-making in their personal and public lives. The mission statements of these institutionsoften include a global citizenship goal. Planned opportunities for students to fulfill core curriculum requirements in education abroad settingsmarry the concepts of domestic and global citizenship, expand the quality of the core curriculum, and offer enhanced opportunities for facultyand students seeking new and non-traditional education experiences. Faculty and administrators will discuss their efforts to create an innovativecore curriculum infused with opportunities for students to achieve values-based learning outcomes and explain how their school’s educationabroad activities contribute to the core curriculum.Coffee Break 10:15am-10:45am Roosevelt Promenade6

Finally, how a focus on social justiceapplies to issues of access to education abroad. There will be time for audience discussion and comment.Creating and Maintaining a Robust Approved <strong>Program</strong>s List Roosevelt Salon 3Chair: Priscilla Stone, Washington University in St. LouisPresenters: Carolyn Sorkin, Wesleyan University; Kathleen Fairfax, South Dakota State University; Joe Hoff, University of RichmondAll institutions strive to offer their students a carefully compiled and compelling set of opportunities to study abroad. This session focuses onhow to achieve balance among the competing issues of different program models, diverse locations, and affordability. When does it makesense for a university or college to launch its own program abroad, to seek consortia or partnerships with other institutions, to work with thirdpartyproviders, and to send students on programs run by other U.S. or international universities? This discussion reviews different strategies forestablishing and updating approved lists, and suggests some best practices and future directions.Beyond “It was Awesome!”: Enriching the Student Experience After Re-entry Roosevelt Salon 4Chair: Zoé Jouannelle, Australian Trade CommissionPresenters: Kevin Morrison, Meredith College; Anna Levinger, The George Washington UniversityReturnee study abroad students are enthusiastic about their experience and want to share what they’ve experienced with as many students aswill listen. But all too often, students are not able to express the outcomes of their own study abroad experience beyond, “It was awesome!”This session will focus on re-entry strategies to assist study abroad alumni in applying their study abroad experience to their ongoing academic,professional, and personal lives. Presenters will discuss programs and initiatives that help students apply the skills and competencies theylearned while abroad, and also articulate the benefits and attributes they gained overseas.The Parent Trap: How to Support Students of Highly Involved Parents Roosevelt Salon 5from Philosophy to PracticalityChair: Jessa Boche, University of Wisconsin-MadisonPresenters: Amanda Gilliam, CIEE; Erin Polnaszek, University of Wisconsin–Madison; Bradley Titus, University of MinnesotaAcross the field of education abroad, many professionals are encountering more and more situations involving parents. Whether during theexploration phase, the preparation phase, or even while the student is abroad, dealing with overly involved parents can be challenging andsometimes frustrating. Even the most well-meaning parents can leave study abroad professionals feeling confused and uncertain about the bestway to respond. This session will highlight current parental involvement trends, parental policies/services being offered, and effective strategiesfor parent concerns. Pro-active tips for helping students become their own advocates will also be discussed.Concurrent Sessions3:00pm-4:15pm<strong>Program</strong>s Designed with All in Mind: Roosevelt Salon 2Accommodating Students with and without Disabilities AbroadChair: Michele Scheib, Mobility International USAPresenters: Clara Rodes, CIEE Barcelona; Hannah Taieb, CIEE Paris; Laura Semenow, University of Tulsa; Lori Karker, Rochester Institute of Technology(student) and Alumna, CIEE Paris; Kathleen Coleman, University of Tulsa (student) and Alumna, CIEE BarcelonaThe 2010 National Survey on Student Engagement revealed that students with disabilities are not far behind their non-disabled peers in thepercentage that have studied abroad. What the statistics do not reveal is how the experiences compared for students with and without disabilities.This session, chaired by the Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE), will showcase alumni and staff from recent programs witha focused look at study abroad planning for equal opportunities and evaluating how learning outcomes measure success of inclusion efforts forstudents with and without disabilities. CIEE alumni with disabilities will present their insights. NCDE will then facilitate a dialogue with the ResidentDirectors on planning for equal opportunity and quality in program design from the classroom experience to field visits to administrative training.8

Institutional Mission, Curriculum, and Education Abroad: Aligning Education Roosevelt Salon 3Abroad <strong>Program</strong>s to Institutional Purpose and Student Learning GoalsChair: Margaret Heisel, Center for Capacity Building in Study AbroadPresenters: Mark Gallovic, University of North Carolina, Wilmington; Truett Cates, Austin CollegeAs education abroad participation grows, programs are changing and diversifying rapidly. More students are seeking “hands-on” experientialprograms that provide greater direct contact with the local culture and many institutions are developing programs linked to individualdisciplines and to the specific learning goals of their campuses. In this session, we will report on a survey of institutional goals and educationabroad programs conducted among five very different types of institutions: a large public research university, a technical institute, a comprehensiveuniversity, and two small colleges; from this review we see emerging patterns important for the future of international programs.Volunteers, Voluntourists, and the Paradoxes of Student Service Abroad Roosevelt Salon 4Chair: Jane Edwards, Yale UniversityPresenters: Ann Kuhlman, Yale University; Steven Rosenthal, Cross Cultural Solutions; Michael Woolf, CAPA International EducationMany study abroad programs now incorporate opportunities for students to volunteer in the local community, and our campuses include many“service” activities abroad including short student-led trips. This panel will consider the theory and practice of American student service abroad,and propose ways of managing these activities to ensure positive outcomes for the hosting organization and community as well as for thestudent. This manifestation of service is a profoundly American phenomenon of not uncontested value, and to help us understand its complexitywe have researched the very different understanding of American “service” abroad held by international students in the U.S.The Heart of Study Abroad Roosevelt Salon 5Chair: Anders Uhrskov, DISPresenters: Peter Alongia, Tulane University; Scott Carpenter, Carleton College; Ric Sheffield, Kenyon CollegeThis session will discuss the essence or heart of study abroad (Title inspired by Partket J. Palmer & Arthur Zajonc, The Heart of HigherEducation, 2010). Five questions and related problems will be focused on: (1) What is the relation between globalization and studyabroad? (2) What features of today’s U.S. undergraduate students (Generation X) are important in relation to study abroad? (3) How canstudy abroad help students develop an inquiring mind and genuine insight within their academic major? (4) How can the intercultural sideof study abroad be enhanced? (5) How can study abroad support a renewal of the curriculum at U.S. universities and colleges?Meet CIEE: Coffee & Conversation 4:30pm-6:00pm Crescent City Ballroom(open to all)Join CIEE staff from around the world to learn more about each CIEE program and culture.

How can value be added to overseas opportunities?How can visits be effectively transformed and communicated to academic and other staff back on campus to progress initial meetings intotangible partnerships? This interactive session will address these questions and feature presentations covering three continents.10

Experiential Education Abroad: Study and Engagement Roosevelt Salon 4Chair: William Hyndman, Northeastern UniversityPresenters: David Rudd, Arcadia University; Michael Woolf, CAPA International EducationThis session will present strategies to engage students beyond traditional study abroad. Collectively, the panel will offer a variety of models thatseek to encourage dynamic interaction between two learning environments: the classroom and the world beyond those walls. NortheasternUniversity’s Dialogue of Civilizations programs connect students with peers around the world in different national, cultural, political, and socialenvironments. Arcadia University developed and supports a Global/Local Connection whereby students learn in their local community beforeand after studying abroad with the learning goal of making linkages within the American context to the environment abroad. The integration offormal and informal learning is also the key pedagogical impulse behind CAPA’s Global Cities initiatives.Student Learning Abroad: At Whose Expense and/or Benefit? Roosevelt Salon 5Chair: Anne Lutterman-Aguilar, Center for Global Education at Augsburg College–MexicoPresenters: Aryn Baxter, University of Minnesota; Laura Litwiller, Global RoutesAs international educators redefine student learning abroad they must not do so at the expense of host communities. Although reciprocitybetween program providers and local communities is often listed as a goal of study abroad programs, it is not always clear what reciprocitymeans in practice, and few studies have addressed host communities’ views of reciprocity and their perspectives on learning outcomes.Therefore, this session will provide theoretical frameworks for understanding reciprocity; share the results of three different research projectsthat addressed issues of reciprocity; and offer participants tools for exploring issues of reciprocity in their own programs.Coffee Break 10:15am-10:45am Roosevelt PromenadeConcurrent Sessions10:45am-12:00pmTime Well Spent: Preparing Diverse Students for Learning Abroad Roosevelt Salon 2Chair: Jennifer Creamer, University of PittsburghPresenters: Carol Larson, University of Pittsburgh; Constance Lundy, Lincoln University; Paul Watson, AIFSUniversities want to encourage diverse students to participate in study abroad and numerous scholarships are available to support diversestudents; however, many study abroad administrators are unsuccessful, unaware that diverse students often require sustained, targetedprogramming in order to prepare for their experience abroad. In this session, presenters will offer their perspectives on working with diversestudents at a large research university, a small liberal arts HBCU, and on study abroad provider programs. Session participants will learnconcrete strategies for attracting, supporting, and sustaining diverse students in the study abroad process, from application and participation,to the return home.International <strong>Program</strong>s for Graduate Students: Roosevelt Salon 3Examining University and <strong>Program</strong> Rules, Goals, and NeedsChair: Diane Penneys Edelman, Villanova UniversityPresenters: Rebecca Bellinger, American University; Theresa Kaiser, American University; Lance Kenney, Villanova UniversityNot only undergraduates study abroad. Many graduate programs–in law, business, nursing, and other fields – also value and promote studyabroad, international exchanges, and the like. The panelists, who are experienced in developing and administering graduate-level internationalprograms, will give an overview of the rules, considerations, and challenges affecting their programs. Faculty and administrators interestedin developing programming for graduate students, as well as in learning about international graduate opportunities for their undergraduatestudents, should find this session useful. In addition, organizations that provide externship and other opportunities for graduate students abroadmay find this presentation helpful for developing programs geared toward that audience.11

Schedule of EventsFriday, November 18(continued)Aftershocks, Aftermath, and Afterthoughts: Roosevelt Salon 4Academic and Experiential Opportunities Following Natural DisastersChair: Max Savishinsky, CIEEPresenter: Patricio Varas Guerrero, CIEEMany of the world’s most popular study abroad destinations are situated near major fault lines and flood zones, coastal and volcanic areas,or storm paths. Disaster preparedness and response is a hallmark of good program design, but seldom do programs consider educationalpreparedness given the ever-present potential for significant natural disasters. In this session, presenters will discuss their experiencesmanaging programs in the wake of major earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, and how programs can be prepared to utilize these events forthe benefit of students as well as local communities affected by calamities. In discussion, participants will examine the learning, growth, andservice opportunities that are inherent when natural disasters strike, given that these events inevitably expose myriad socio-economic, political,and other issues relevant to the academic and experiential goals of study abroad programs.Deepening the Impact and Assessment of Short-stay Study Abroad Roosevelt Salon 5Chair: Jodi Malmgren, University of MinnesotaPresenters: Christine Anderson, University of Minnesota; Stephen Conger, Accent Rome Center, ItalyQuality program design and assessment, incorporating experiential learning on-site and cross-cultural learning and reflection, are critical tomaximize learning potential on education abroad programs. Presenters for this session examine program design and assessment in short-stayeducation abroad from three distinct perspectives: assessment of compulsory study abroad, use of the IDI for guided culture learning, and on-sitepartnership in program design. This session concludes with a discussion on three topics: How can assessment enhance the use of study abroad asa requisite? What are the ethics of using the IDI purely for research? How can host country staff ensure that learning outcomes are being met?Annual Luncheon 12:15pm-2:30pm crescent City BallroomFeatured Speaker: Dr. Michael WhiteSee page 2 for biographical information.Concurrent Sessions2:45pm-4:00pmStudy Abroad and the Curriculum: Bridging the Here and There Roosevelt Salon 2Chair: Elizabeth Brewer, Beloit CollegePresenters: Kendall Brostuen, Brown University; Kiran Cunningham, Kalamazoo College; Daniel Youd, Beloit CollegeStudy abroad holds great potential for students’ intercultural and transformative learning. The focus of this session is how the home institutioncurriculum can help this potential become reality as well as accrue benefits to students who do not study abroad. Following a discussion ofintercultural and transformative learning theory, the panel will turn to curricular examples: sophomore seminars across the disciplines thatprepare students for study abroad, intercultural learning embedded in a variety of courses, intercultural and disciplinary learning facilitatedfrom the home campus, and independent projects undertaken during study abroad but connected to studies at home.Connecting People to Peace through Service: Roosevelt Salon 3Experiential, Simulation, Service-LearningChair: Michael Lenaghan, Miami Dade CollegePresenters: Charles Phillips, Miami Dade College; Peter Hayes, 2011 Israel Palestine Authority Global Peace Makers Project;Nicolas Matsangakis, Undergraduate Student, University of MarylandPanelists will examine and explore the meanings and implications of integrating academic, experiential, simulation, and service-learningstrategies pertinent but not limited to social science disciplines as an academic affirmation and ethical cultivation process leading to a lifelonglocal and global ethic of service within each student’s profession and career. This reflects a paradigm shift in global educational and personaldevelopment engagement that entails preparing for a project that adheres to universal and mutual development expectations between originatingand recipient community members outside the USA and vice versa—informed by academic standards and outcome measures and yetrespectful of United Nations Millennium Development Goals, processes and prospects for sustainable results in the host community. A modelproject, model recruitment, training, funding, implementing and evaluation strategies, and educational and managerial procedures for hostand traveling participants will be presented by panelists and open to detailed delineation, discussion, analysis, critique, and conclusiveoutcomes for application after the conference.12

Schedule of EventsFriday, November 18(continued)Learning By Doing: What I Wish I Had Known When Roosevelt Salon 4Leading my First International Service-Learning CourseChair: Alan Bartley, Transylvania UniversityPresenters: Kathleen Jagger, Transylvania University; Terri L. Bonebright, DePauw University; Douglas Harms, DePauw UniversityThe four presentations will focus on avoidance of issues—beforehand—that may limit or hinder student learning outcomes in internationalservice-learning courses. The presenters, all past participants and leaders in these types of courses, will elaborate on distinct issues (monetary,cultural, group dynamics, leadership, psychological, and pedagogical problems) that often arise between the planning, implementation, andassessment phases of course creation and the changes that were made to reduce such issues for future courses. Discussion will also addresshow other professors considering such courses, especially those who are inexperienced with service-learning, may discern, plan for, andameliorate such issues.Communicating a Crisis: How to Manage Multiple Roosevelt Salon 5Lines of Communication During an Emergency SituationChair: Mark Beirn, Washington University in St. LouisPresenters: Terry Crouch, Middlebury College; Greg Southworth, Tulane UniversityOur dynamic global world requires international offices to develop a broad-based skill set and an in-depth understanding of how tocommunicate effectively on a variety of platforms during times of crisis. Representing study abroad offices, program providers, and emergencymanagers, this panel will discuss best practices in developing clear communications protocols to deliver appropriate messages to our everexpanding list of constituencies. We will use recent examples from a shared crisis management repertoire, such as the Icelandic volcanic ashcloud; protests in Egypt and Tunisia; earthquakes in Japan, Haiti, Chile, and <strong>New</strong> Zealand; and localized emergencies.Saturday, November 19<strong>Conference</strong> Registration 8:00am-1:00pm Roosevelt FoyerInternet Café 8:00am-1:00pm Roosevelt PromenadeInformation Hall 8:00am-1:00pm Roosevelt FoyerBreakfast Plenary 8:30am-10:00am Waldorf Astoria BallroomFeatured Speakers: Michael McCarry; Carrie KortegastSee page 3 for biographical information.Concurrent Sessions10:15am-11:30amExpanding Internationalization: A Look Inside Living/Learning Communities Roosevelt Salon 2Chair: Michael Girsch, Arizona State UniversityPresenters: Jon W. Stauff, College of <strong>New</strong> Jersey; Sara Young-Singh, Rider UniversityIn this session, participants will explore the concepts and process of living/learning residential communities within the higher educationcontext. By comparing specific examples, the panel discussion will examine the purpose, benefits, and challenges of creating this type ofinternationalization opportunity on a campus with a focus on the student experience. The session will cover creative ways of reaching goals setforth by living/learning communities and its “functional team”. By examining best practices and highlighting solutions to challenges, attendeeswill learn ways for campus personnel, particularly education abroad professionals, to develop a living/learning community on their campus.14

Best Practices for Working with Faculty who Lead Education Abroad <strong>Program</strong>s Roosevelt Salon 3Chair: Steven Duke, Wake Forest UniversityPresenters: Jessica Francis, Wake Forest University; Nick Gozik, Duke University; David Taylor, Wake Forest UniversityFaculty-led education abroad programs have become ubiquitous. The number of faculty leading short-term programs has risen dramatically inrecent years. Yet while faculty boldly charge forward, what types of resources are provided, how are faculty trained to follow best practices,and how are their courses and programs assessed? This session will focus on best practices that have proven successful and including:using faculty committees to oversee and approve programs; training faculty on recruiting students, advertising, budgeting, health and safety;preparing students for intercultural engagement; assessing programs and evaluating student learning; incorporating the Forum’s Standards ofGood Practice for Education Abroad.<strong>New</strong> Directions in Undergraduate Research Roosevelt Salon 4Chair: Karen Mead, University of CaliforniaPresenters: Anne Haberkern, AHA International; Eva Diaz, Harvard University; Annmarie Whalen, The Forum on Education AbroadThe panel will explore new ways to consider undergraduate research as a part of education abroad that engages a broad range of students andbenefits the institutions that send and receive them. Presenters from distinct organizations will consider the problems and solutions in developing,implementing, and maintaining quality research opportunities and mentorship within study abroad programs. The potential rewards from suchprograms (increased faculty awareness/support; enhanced academic possibilities in programs with otherwise limited offerings; contributions tocommunities where research takes place; energizing previously unengaged undergraduates) will also feature prominently in the discussion.Re-framing Student Accommodation in Education Abroad: Roosevelt Salon 5Outcomes Reporting on a Cross-National Study of LearningChair: Anthony Ogden, University of KentuckyPresenters: Dan Dewey, Brigham Young University; Tomomi Kumai, Osaka Gakuin UniversityThis “theory to practice” presentation reports on a pilot study that assessed the extent to which reframing student accommodation as a corelearning component mediates changes in students’ global citizenship development. Conducted in Japan, this mixed-methods study followed 12pairs of students for the duration of an eight-week summer program. Each pair, one student from a U.S. institution and one Japanese studentfrom the host institution, shared an apartment for the program duration. Pre- and post-test findings from the Global Citizenship Scale will bediscussed. Qualitative findings from focus-group interviews, an on-going orientation program, and learning contracts will be used to furtherelucidate the quantitative findings. The discussion will challenge contemporary approaches to student accommodation and critique the notionof global citizenship.Concurrent Sessions11:45am-1:00pmInternships and Service-Learning: Oh My! Roosevelt Salon 2Chair: Katie Saur, Indiana UniversityPresenters: Rochelle Keesler, University of Pennsylvania; Jeff Conradi, Boston UniversityAs the array of educational experiences abroad for students continues to expand, the “One Size Fits All” model to administrative processes,marketing, pre-departure services, and re-entry does not necessarily apply. Hear from three different institutions on how they’ve updated theirprocesses and services to adjust to changing program types, specifically internships and service-learning opportunities.Global Engagement in Science and Engineering: Roosevelt Salon 3Effective Models for International Research ExperiencesChair: Cheryl Matherly, University of TulsaPresenters: Michelle Pickard, Institute of International Education Southern Regional Center–Houston; Rita Peachey, CIEEIn this session, presenters will consider the trends in STEM students’ participation in study abroad and introduce two programs in whichundergraduate students participate in independent research abroad, the NanoJapan International Research Experience for Undergraduatesand the CIEE Tropical Marine Ecology and Conservation <strong>Program</strong> based in Bonaire. Presenters will discuss 1) best practices for designingindependent student research projects; 2) integration of interdisciplinary cross-cultural issues in the context of understanding global dimensionsof scientific questions; and 3) assessment of student learning as related to preparing globally-engaged scientists and engineers.15

Schedule of EventsSaturday, November 19(continued)Beyond the Ivory Tower: Bringing Global Education to the Local Community Roosevelt Salon 4Chair: Evelyn Hamilton, Urban League College TrackPresenters: Debra Harley, Lagniappe Academies; Herbert Perryman, Urban League College Track; Troy Simon, Urban League College Track;Darielle Trotter, Urban League College TrackIn this session, participants will explore the ways in which global education can be incorporated in local communities. Typically, suchinitiatives take place within the realm of higher education institutions. University programs can be enhanced when students arrive on campuswith international experiences that they acquired at the K-12 level. College-bound high school students, along with youth developmentprofessionals, will provide youth and community perspectives. The question and answer period will be a space for dialogue on how colleges,universities, and international education organizations can partner with community-based organizations in order to spread the reach of globaleducation initiatives.Creating Synergy in International Education Roosevelt Salon 5through a Statewide Consortium: The Case of UtahChair: Danny Damron, Utah Valley UniversityPresenters: Mark Bean, University of Utah; Timothy Lynn Elliott, Brigham Young UniversityIn an era of fiscal conservatism, colleges and universities increasingly find themselves competing for students, state budget funds, programs,prestige, and reputation. This reality makes building stronger collaboration and communication networks aimed at addressing common issuesof concern in international education even more imperative. This panel provides a model for building a statewide consortium of internationaleducation administrators. Participants will learn how to expand networks, participate in building a broader and deeper knowledge community,and bring in stakeholders who are not traditionally part of the conversation, including business leaders and state government officials.Connect with CIEE StaffCIEE staff from around the world are attending this year’s conferenceand we are happy to talk with you about CIEE programs, membership,publications, and more.Look for us wearing white CIEE Staff lanyards throughout the week andfeel free to stop us with any questions you may have.
