Dr. Donald R. Culton was the first-full-time administrator for international education at a California community college and laid the groundwork for community college study abroad that expanded opportunities for more students to have an internationalized experience.

Thank you for those of you who sent this survey to your students. We have extended the survey date to December 5. So, if you can do another push, we are at 48 responses and it would be so good to get more.

I would so appreciate it if you can send a reminder to your students to complete this survey by December 5.
