The Jane Gluckmann and Carol Rausch “Go Global” Scholarship

Melibee Global in partnership with the Fund for Education Abroad created The Jane Gluckmann and Carol Rausch “Go Global” Scholarship.

This scholarship was created in loving memory of two wonderful mothers, departed from this world much too early, who inspired their children to travel the globe and engage with other cultures, ultimately leading to our commitment to the field of international education.

The scholarship will be awarded to a student accepted to study abroad in Mexico, Central America, South America, France, or Germany, regions which held special significance to these two amazing women. The Fund for Education Abroad’s 2017-2018 application cycle will open on November 16th, 2016 and eligible students who complete FEA’s application will be considered for this scholarship. Interested students will be able to apply on the FEA’s website here:  http://fundforeducationabroad.org/applicants/.

As this is a brand new scholarship there is a fundraising effort, we would be grateful to anyone who might wish to donate in honor of these two women or of #inspiringmoms everywhere. To donate, please visit the following page and select The Jane Gluckmann and Carol Rausch “Go Global” Scholarship from the drop-down box.

MelibeeU is having Dr. Anthony Ogden present another workshop on Monday, November 11th from 3:00-5:00pm EST and his topic will be Empty Meeting Grounds – Situating Intercultural Learning in U.S. Education Abroad.  Registration closes on Wednesday, November 6th.  For those of you who are interested and able to participate I believe you will be very pleased as I'm a big fan of his!

MelibeeU, the professional training arm of Melibee Global has launched!

I'm a big fan of what Missy Gluckmann has been doing over at Melibee Global for some time now.  Really forward thinking stuff that she is doing for the field as evidenced by her lastest creation of MelibeeU.

International Educators: Striking a Balance (January 20, 2012)

and

Global Service Learning: Design/Reflection/Connection Workshop Series with Dr. Eric Hartman (Online – February 2012) [the coupon codes available here expire on Wednesday January 11th at 11:59 PM EST]

MelibeeU has also partnered with Small Planet Studio and have produced additional training resources for the field to include: 

The "How-To Series": How to Work in Study Abroad, as an Intercultural Trainer & a Global Education/Intercultural Consultant

and

Short-Term Study Abroad Crossroads: Where Planning Missteps Meet Cultural Blunders

If these offerings don't fit your schedule please stay tuned to MelibeeU for more interesting workshops in the future!

If I was trying to get into the field of international education I would be all over this!

Recently Missy Gluckman over at Melibee Global put out a call for 2 interns on Twitter to work on various projects that can be done remotely with expected time commitment of 2-3 hours per week.  If I was looking to enter the field or was a newcomer in the field I would jump on this opportunity in a second.  Why?  1. I would learn much from Missy; 2. I would learn much from the work I would do for Melibee Global; 3. I would make connections in the field which will lead to opportunities which will lead to more connections which will lead to more opportunities and so on; 4. the time commitment is flexible and very reasonable; 5. I would get a valuable recommendation from someone in the field of international education and, 6. while unpaid the compensation I would receive (in addition to what I mention above) will be realized at a later date!  If you are interested you can contact Missy at info@melibeeglobal.com and check out the Melibee Global blog at http://melibeeglobal.com/ as well as on Twitter at @MelibeeGlobalel.

New Global Ed Listserv for Consultants

Following is a message my colleague Missy Gluckman of Melibee Global sent yesterday to the SECUSS-L listserv.  I'm copying and pasting the message here on IHEC Blog as I'm involved in this new initiative.  I should note that Missy is the driving force behind this effort and she deserves all of the credit as I'm really just coming along for the ride.  Many many thanks Missy!!  I'll be posting more soon about what Missy is doing for the field as it is really exciting.  Visit her website and blog at http://melibeeglobal.com/ when you have a chance.  Here is our message:


Greetings,

We invite international ed consultants to join a newly formed discussion group on google: Global Ed Consultants

The purpose of this group is to share information about our consulting services, to network, and to discuss the joy (and surprises!) of the  consulting field. Our philosophy is that collaboration is MUCH more effective than competition, so we hope to support each other and provide an outlet for discussion, especially since many of us work from home and cannot  physically travel to every conference.

Please note that you should be an international education consultant to join this group.

Here is the link to join: http://groups.google.com/group/Globaledconsult/about

Feel free to email should you have any questions or comments!

Best,
Missy and David
