Upcoming Free and Low Cost Professional Development Opportunities for International Educators

The following is a copy and paste from a message my colleague Jessica Oldford, Interim Managing Director, Global Initiatives at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, posted to a shared professional network.  Jessica gave me permission to copy and paste her message into this IHEC Blog post as I think others will find her compilation helpful.

The last point will take place tomorrow so you'll want to register ASAP if you're interested.

Research Subjects Needed for Research Study on Refugees and U.S. Higher Education

A research project on refugees and enrollment in U.S. higher education is underway.

Note that I am not involved in this research...just helping to spread the word. More information available at https://bit.ly/3gzHsWs
