Despite barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture, 13 Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) students spent 10 days in Shanghai, China, in summer 2013. WSSU students are of varied ages, and racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and many didn’t have a passport before this trip. Craig Richardson, a WSSU professor of economics, worked with CIEE’s Faculty and Custom Programs department and Steve Chao, center director for the CIEE Study Center in Shanghai, to design a program for his MBA students. We'll explore how WSSU was able to overcome barriers and give these students a life-changing experience, and how other institutions may be able to replicate its model to increase access to study abroad for traditionally underrepresented students.

Preparing students of color for interactions with Chinese
• People of African descent are an unusual sight in China,
and students must be prepared for some Chinese who
greet them like visitors from another planet.

Our students handled it with grace, good humor and
aplomb.

Imagine a day that follows four months of meaningful conversation and planning engaging students, faculty, trustees, and alumni. Faculty learn how to team up with seniors to run ethics based seminars including participants in 6th through 12th grade. Beyond basic Socratic skills, faculty learn about leading open-ended conversations that bring out each participant’s voice, how to apply ethical frameworks, and how to bring alive an ethical challenge within a chosen school wide topic. The day starts by honoring newly elected distinguished alumni who reflect on the ethical lessons and moral character that they learned while in school. Several blocks of student/faculty run seminars follow that focus on issues within a given topic such as health, food, or simply decision making in areas of consequence when there is no easy answer and no ultimate resolution. In the afternoon of Ethics Day, alumni come to campus and offer seminars on ethical dilemmas within their chosen professions. Students connect with graduates, learn about different careers, and then typically address case studies that open their eyes to real world applications. Alumni are inspired by the opportunity to return to their school to teach. Finally, students engage in some reflective conversation and writing to finish a truly transformational day. This conference session will cover the overall design and philosophy behind running an Ethics Day program, the many and varied benefits of such a program, mistakes to avoid, and lots of interactive conversation about how this might be adapted to different school cultures. At Kent Denver we feel a fundamental obligation to help students practice making the very most difficult decisions before they, in fact, have to do so. This is what Ethics Day is designed to do.

Strategic Visioning: Mapping the Future of Your Museum

West Muse

In the process of developing a new strategic plan, the UMFA developed self-reflective questions regarding its mission and vision. UMFA staff visited museums in Seattle, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Austin with the aim of studying variations of best practice to guide this work. By developing a clear, strategic direction for the institution, museum staff was able to devise changes to the organizational structure and operational strategies in accordance with short and long-term objectives. This session will include questions and findings regarding curatorial practice, sustainability, engagement, and strategic planning to ensure the health, success, and impact of the Museum.

Before They Even Get Here: Cross-Campus Collaboration on a New Pre-Freshman S...

CIEE

During this session, we'll examine the development of an innovative study abroad program, which was the result of successful collaboration among professionals from the admissions and study abroad offices and an academic department. The synergy that resulted from this collaboration enabled the creation of a program that exceeded all expectations as a recruiting tool, as a summer bridge preparing high school students for university, and as an innovative model for future study abroad programs. Panelists will each tell the story of the program's creation from his or her own perspective, highlighting areas of potential mutual misunderstanding and how they were resolved.

It Takes a Village: Building a Support System for Diversity Abroad

CIEE

Racial/ethnic diversity in study abroad increased 10 percent from 2004 to 2014. Despite the increase, study abroad continues to fall low on students of color’s priority list. Irrespective of their rationale for not going, students of color continue to receive fewer messages that study abroad is worthwhile. To fill this gap, panelists in this session will argue that faculty involvement – particularly faculty of color– in the planning process and while on-site is imperative. The inclusion will allow students to see themselves reflected in study abroad programs and may increase the likelihood that students will participate. This session will feature multiple perspectives to demonstrate the important ways to utilize faculty in the effort to increase student of color participation.

Intercultural Faculty Training for the Development of Innovative Global Initi...

CIEE

During this session, we'll explore resources and frameworks that allow participants to identify the specific needs of their home campuses in relation to implementing intercultural and diversity initiatives. Intercultural competence has an impact on educators' daily duties and projects, allowing them to bridge the cultural differences present on campuses and in education abroad programs. This type of competence helps to develop innovative initiatives and to align with global learning outcomes and goals. Furthermore, intercultural competence fosters reflection and creativity with the aim of developing thoughtful and distinctive new projects. Panelists will present models for intercultural training, lead discussions on best practices in this area, examine projects developed as a result of intercultural training, and review intercultural tools that can help when implementing new programs.

Know Your Audience: Using Pre-existing Norms to Overcome Curricular and Cultu...

CIEE

Understanding the target market of a study abroad program can help educators overcome cultural and curricular barriers to studying abroad. Partnerships between study abroad offices and faculty members can be instrumental in breaking down these barriers for business students. During this session, we'll combine the panelists’ experiences with original research to attempt to illuminate themes, including the disconnect between emerging markets and student study abroad choices, apathy toward language acquisition, perceptions of study abroad, and developing a culture of studying abroad. Participants are encouraged to bring their own success and challenges in order to create generalizable program design and outreach philosophies.

Opening More Doors: Keys to Successful Faculty-Led Study Abroad for Graduate ...

CIEE

This session will provide a model for building a successful graduate-level study abroad program, give session participants the tools to build a viable, sustainable study abroad program for graduate students, and aid and inspire session participants to do so. Panelists include three colleagues who have collaborated to build successful credit-bearing graduate-level study abroad programs, as well as a non-traditional student who participated in a study abroad program. During this session, we'll cover budgeting, recruitment, course credits, course delivery, program activities, coursework, logistics, accommodating non-traditional students, faculty pay and course load, and program assessment and sustainability.

Breakfast Presentation

CIEE

Our breakfast program recaps a year’s worth of Academic Consortium Board (ACB) activity. Topics include steps ACB institutions are taking to partner with faculty to expand global education, updates on the CIEE Generation Study Abroad pledge, thanking departing board members, and welcoming our new ones. We also highlight our study centers in Perth, Khon Kaen, and Budapest as they celebrate their 25th anniversaries.

Education Goes International: Partnering Abroad to Build Teacher Education Pr...

CIEE

During this session, the panelists will offer their unique perspectives on the obstacles and mediation necessary to develop a culturally responsive teacher education program abroad that positively impacts U.S. teacher candidates as well as Italian teachers and their primary students. Using examples from their experience developing a teacher education program with EFL teaching field experience, the panelists will lead participants in discussions focused on addressing the curriculum needs of students and U.S. institutions, the community needs of the host culture, and the strategies necessary to work effectively with the host. Dialogue with participants will be framed around approaches for curriculum alignment and for developing and maintaining mutually beneficial community partnerships.

Designing and Delivering Globally Connected Domestic Programs

CIEE

Come learn how your institution can develop and implement exciting globally connected domestic programs for your students. Featuring faculty and administrator panelists from Elon University and Duke University, this session will showcase their respective programs in Los Angeles that offer innovative coursework on current issues combined with valuable pre-professional opportunities, such as credit-bearing internships, thus using the host city as a "learning laboratory." The faculty directors of Elon and Duke’s programs in LA will describe how they introduce students to the film and entertainment industries with help from their alumni networks. Other general topics in this session include leveraging university support for domestic programs and preparing students for a domestic academic experience.

Using Giving Games to Develop International and Intercultural Critical Thinki...

CIEE

Giving games are learning experiences in which students are given a sum of money to donate to one or more charities. Students then research charities and make a collective decision to give based on the relative effectiveness of the various charitable options. Giving games impart valuable lessons about effective altruism, the use of empirical data in charity evaluation, and negotiation and compromise in a values-based setting. Using the panelists' own experiences, this session will introduce participants to giving game strategies and will focus on the possibilities and problems inherent in using giving games. A giving game will be a part of this session.

The Evolution of Study Abroad Programs to Achieve Greater Student Diversity

CIEE

There is a growing trend in education abroad to attract a greater number and diversity of students by focusing on making education abroad of interest to traditionally underrepresented groups. During this session, we'll look at examples of programs and university-based efforts to examine what commonalities can be replicated and what lessons can be learned in new accessible program models. Focus is placed on how the panelists have used on-campus collaborations and adjusted for programmatic, language, and environmental conditions in the host community to create an experience that facilitates learning and inclusion for an increased diversity of participants.

Customizing and Funding Professional Development to Internationalize the Curr...

CIEE

For the past two years, CIEE and Union College have collaborated to run International Faculty Development Seminars in Beijing, China, and Istanbul, Turkey, assisting Union in their efforts to internationalize their common curriculum. During this session, we'll outline how Union applied for and won a grant from the Mellon Foundation, approached CIEE for assistance with the design and execution of the programs, and ultimately, how the first of the two programs has changed and will continue to change the common curriculum at Union. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how international professional development opportunities can help internationalize curriculum on their own campuses.

Outside of Our Comfort Zones: Faculty Identity and Pedagogy in the Global Cla...

CIEE

Like the intrepid students who study somewhere other than their home countries, faculty should challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zones. During this session, you'll learn how to define your identity as a global teacher and how to experiment with pedagogies that facilitate learning for a variety of students. Panelists will share highlights from a workshop they co-facilitated in the Czech Republic for teachers from across Europe who work with U.S. study abroad students. In addition, they'll lead participants in a discussion about experiences teaching abroad or instructing diverse learners on home campuses, as well as an interactive teaching exercise.

CIEE

How did an English professor, a social work professor, and a communications professor come together at Belmont University to build a high-quality academic program in Sweden? Join us as we explore innovative approaches to faculty-led programs. Faculty and study abroad staff will share best practices, discuss the success of their own initiatives, and cover the potential challenges of organizing programs that support students from different backgrounds. You'll leave the session energized to use the tools provided to create your own successful cross-disciplinary faculty-led program.

Getting Real with Diversity Outreach: A Practical Toolkit for Promoting Study...

CIEE

Reaching underrepresented student populations in education abroad is something most universities strive for, but can find difficult to execute in practice. During this session, presenters – who represent the 11th most ethnically diverse university in the U.S. – will help you identify new and creative outlets for outreach to underrepresented populations at your institution. We'll also explore how to foster connections with key departments and identify study abroad program types that draw diverse student participants in the hopes of empowering underrepresented students to overcome actual and perceived barriers to study abroad.

Facilitating Mobility for Engineering Majors: Successful Partnerships between...

CIEE

Learn best practices for how your institution should work internally to recruit, advise, approve courses, and award credits, all of which are critical components for implementing successful study abroad programs for engineering students. We'll also highlight the importance of collaboration between faculty and study abroad advising offices and will illustrate how this collaboration can lead to additional opportunities for universities.

Developing Global Citizens: Increasing Faculty Engagement in Intercultural Le...

CIEE

Knowledge, while crucial, is just one piece of the "global citizen" puzzle so many universities are trying to solve. Intercultural effectiveness — the hallmark of global citizenship — requires affective and behavioral learning as well as cognitive. Integrating effective fostering of global citizens into the university mainstream requires significant involvement by faculty. During this session, we'll provide ideas for how faculty might become more deeply and effectively engaged in promoting intercultural learning at universities, even contributing to promotion and tenure documents regarding the “mentoring” of undergraduate students. We'll also share some early success stories.

Between a Religious Rock and a Hard Study Abroad Place: Supporting Students o...

CIEE

Religion can be a sensitive topic in study abroad when working with students and advisors from different cultures. During this session, you'll learn how to best support students to practice their religions abroad and to help them manage how they will be perceived in different cultures. Participants will also gain an understanding of faculty-led program design and the importance of sensitivity to students and faith systems. Finally, we'll identify advising models that can help students explore their value systems and empower their sense of faith by looking at host cultures, including Ghana, Italy, Japan, and Spain.

In With the Locals: Why On-Site Connection Matters

CIEE

How do we break the third wall between study abroad group bubble voyeurism to allow for meaningful, authentic engagement abroad? During this session, we'll investigate the implications of involving local parties in faculty-led study abroad, particularly for pointedly focused curriculum in non-traditional areas of study. Faculty, student, and provider perspectives speak to experiences of international collaboration, challenges and successes, and how to utilize local networks to coordinate a meaningful and engaging experience abroad. Additionally, faculty and resident staff will reflect specifically on seeking out relevant and timely contacts and experiences and will provide personal examples of how to position a program experience and curriculum to facilitate growth.

Washington Update

CIEE

Following a tumultuous campaign season, Americans will have elected a new president and Congress just a week before the CIEE Annual Conference. Where does the new president stand on privately funded exchange programs? What does the new composition of Congress mean for the budget process? What about immigration issues? How might exchanges fare? Who are the most likely people to run the critical congressional committees? What about the impact of the presidential campaign on public perception? Come learn about these issues and what the international exchange community can do to promote greater understanding and support of its programs.

Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...

CIEE

How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.
