My daughter Gabriela is doing a quasi-virtual internship in Peru that she created for herself!

My daughter Gabriel just graduated high school and in fall she will start her college career at Temple University!  In April 2019 she participate on an exchange in spring 2019 in Lima, Peru through Spotlight Perú: A Performing Arts Company. In August 2019 she returned as an Invited Artist for Spotlight Perú. She misses her friends from Lima and is now doing a quasi-virtual internship through Spotlight Perú over the next few weeks. Essentially, she will be connecting with the students via Zoom every once in a while to talk to the students and to provide guidance and feedback! Very proud of her!


Here she is Zooming in to Spotlight Perú  from our home here in Chicago on May 15, 2020 

Below are several embedded Spotlight Perú Facebook posts that feature my daughter Gabriela!

I got to meet and talk with Elspeth Jones for her new #IntlEdChat interview series!

I am a big fan of Elspeth Jones, Emerita Professor at Leeds Beckett University, and I have been for many years! So when she invited me to connect for her new #IntlEdChat interview series I jumped at the opportunity. It was our first time meeting and while making that virtual connection was great I look forward to an in person connection sometime in the [hopefully near] future!

You can subscribe to Espeth's International Education YouTube channel here and if you are on Twitter you should follow her at @ElspethJones.

I also want to highlight the Routledge Internationalization in Higher Education book series of which Elspeth serves as the series editor! It's an excellent collection of topics, editors and authors with more on the way! You can learn more about the Routledge Internationalization in Higher Education book series here.
