Fulbright Teacher Exchanges and Summer
Seminars
The Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program provides opportunities for
qualified educators to participate in direct exchanges of positions
with colleagues from other countries for six weeks, a semester,
or a full academic year. The purpose of the program is to promote
mutual understanding between the people of the United States and
the peoples of other countries through educational exchange. In
exchanging positions with foreign teachers or administrators, program
participants have the opportunity to live and work in the cultures
of their host countries, an experience which has benefits for the
teachers, their schools, and their communities. http://www.fulbrightexchanges.org/View/ViewCountryIndex.asp
Community College for International Development
(CCID)
Troika Study Abroad Programs
The CCID consortium has developed a new programming model for short-term
faculty-led study abroad. The programming model is nicknamed "Troika"
because a minimum of three CCID colleges collaborate on each international
program. The primary objective of this model is to provide community
college students with greater access to study abroad opportunities.
