Fulbright Administrators from Russia Arrive To Study at School of Education
The exchange at IU is meant to enhance and hone the professional skill sets of university administrators who work with students from around the world
Eight Fulbright administrators are spending the next few weeks at the IU School of Education, as part of the U.S. Department of State's Fulbright Russian International Education Administrators (RIEA) program. In a competitive application process, the Center for International Education, Development and Research (CIEDR) at the School of Education was chosen to host the administrators while they are at IU for about four weeks. During their time here, they will be learning about higher education in the U.S. and will also have cultural experiences, such as a performance at the IU Auditorium.
The exchange at IU is meant to enhance and hone the professional skill sets of university administrators who work with students from around the world, especially those from the U.S. As part of the program, CIEDR has collaborated with colleagues in the IU Office of International Services, Office of Overseas Study, and Office of the Vice President for International Affairs to give the RIEA fellows a comprehensive look at how international education is supported on the Bloomington campus.
