Opportunities for Staff
IP Grant - Each spring the International Programs Committee awards a grant of up to $3,000 to immerse a College staff member in an unfamiliar culture outside the United States for 1-2 weeks (this may be an English-speaking country). Activities can include language learning, participation in organized seminars or other professional development opportunities. The time abroad does not count against annual leave. Previous recipients include:
Ms. Diane Land, 2007 - watch her presentation!
Ms. Tammy Errigo, 2008
Mr. Mark Hannah, 2009

CIEE International Development Seminars are short-term, concentrated, educational experiences designed to open eyes to a variety of issues shaping the world today. Expect one or two intensive weeks of: lectures given by local faculty; lively discussions; and coordinated site visits to academic, economic, educational, environmental, historic, political, religious, and social institutions. Administrators from the community college through university level with any academic concentration are encouraged to apply. Participants do not need to be experts on the seminar topic or region. Visit the CIEE website!
BCA International Faculty Seminars are designed to provide faculty and administrators with an intensive, in-depth understanding of other societies and their political, economic and cultural perspectives.
