The following is a more or less copy and paste job from a message that my colleague Bryan McAllister-Grande, from Brandeis University and the NAFSA Research/Scholarship Network Leader, recently posted to the Research and Scholarship Network. I am reposting it to IHEC Blog with his permission. I'm actually involved with one of the seminars and one of the meetings listed and will post more about them as the conference approaches.
Over the next few weeks, as the NAFSA conference in Kansas City
