Greetings from The Forum on Education Abroad!
I am writing to share information about an exciting FREE opportunity for Community Colleges. We recently partnered with The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) to offer the CIBER Consortium For Education Abroad (CC/FEA) to Community Colleges for FREE!
This fully funded initiative is designed to increase the capacity for community colleges to develop education abroad programs and a workforce with a global perspective by providing comprehensive, wraparound support.
A team of 2-4 administrators and faculty from each selected school will have the opportunity to participate in a series of webinars, workshops, and networking meetings, and to receive mentoring support from an experienced practitioner. 20 schools will be accepted to the program. These events will introduce teams to resources and community college peers who will assist your team to create and implement a strategic action plan to increase education abroad programming at your institution. In addition, the schools will receive free membership to The Forum on Education Abroad for 18 months! The combined elements of CC/FEA equate to approximately $5,000 in value, with additional discounts available for optional professional development opportunities.
You can read more about the program, see the schedule, and CCs can apply here: https://www.forumea.org/ciber-
We will host an information session on September 20nd at 3pm ET. You can RSVP at the link above.
