In their own words...
Germany
"I gained an in-depth understanding
of the German educational system, political
system and culture through total immersion
and direct experience. I also made excellent
personal and professional linkages with
individuals/colleagues from Germany and
from U.S. institutions." -- IEA Scholar Jennifer
Frum More >
Japan
"Though I have been the study
abroad adviser for East Asia and parts of
Europe at UC Berkeley since 1991, I had
never been to Asia before I received the
IEA Fulbright for Japan in 1995. Since Japan
is by far my most complicated country on
many levels, it was imperative that I learn
more about it so that I could do a better
job of advising my students who wanted to
study there at one of our 13 partner institutions..."
-- IEA Scholar Scott McElhinney More >
Korea
"My experience with the Korean
International Educator Fulbright Programs
was an eye opening and intellectually stimulating
opportunity to observe the current situation
in the Republic of Korea. I had an opportunity
to observe first hand the educational, economic,
industrial and military infrastructure of
this emerging economic powerhouse. As a
direct result of my experience we are in
the process of developing an English Language
Training Center. This is the first step
in a program that will expose Koreans to
the American community college." -- IEA Scholar Frank M. Falcetta More >
