Celebrating 20 years of excellence, the CLS Program is a funded immersive summer study abroad opportunity for American college and university students to learn languages of strategic importance. The CLS Program is a program of the U.S. Department of State and supported in its implementation by American Councils for International Education.

In just eight weeks, participants receive the equivalent of one year of college-level study in one of nine critical languages: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, and Swahili. The program combines intensive language instruction with rich cultural activities.

This is a reminder for our monthly CCIE Education-Abroad Working Group meeting on Thursday Oct. 16 at 4:10. (please note the time as I will be coming from class.). 
Our Special Guest Speaker is Christian Alyea from Campus Community who will talk about “GLOBAL 360: Scalable, Inclusive Global Learning with Sustainable Access.”

One of my favorite parts of my study abroad trip was building close connections with my classmates while navigating a completely new environment together. We grew closer each day, and I made friendships that I know will last a lifetime — I’m already planning a summer trip with one of my closest friends from the program!

Study Abroad Association partners with colleges and universities across the U.S. to create customized, faculty-led study abroad programs designed to enrich the classroom experience with hands-on learning around the world. Our programs are flexible, affordable, and fully supported from the early design phase through to on-the-ground logistics abroad.

Ask anyone outside of South Korea about Jeju Island, and chances are, they won’t have heard of it. But if, like so many of our students, they have become swept up in the international wave of Korean culture with K-dramas or K-pop, then they will definitely know Jeju.

This initiative, fully funded by a consortium of The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) with support from AIFS Abroad and the Gertz-Pellicane Foundation and facilitated by The Forum, is designed to increase the capacity for community colleges to develop education abroad programs and to develop a workforce with a global perspective by providing comprehensive, wraparound support.

When Clarissa Treviño set off for Japan, she knew she was stepping into a world very different from her own. What she didn’t know was how deeply the experience would challenge her, inspire her, and reshape the way she approached new opportunities.

The Community College Education Abroad Working Group meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month. This month, we will have no guest speaker. This will give everyone an opportunity to share updates and to discuss future topics of interest.
I hope to see everyone there

Behold, the Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. This Zen Buddhist temple is surrounded by a “mirror” pond, named for its still water that reflects like a mirror.
