The Global Ed Collaborative Conference 2011
The 2011 Global Education Conference will be held November 14 - 18, during international education week - and it is online and free.

Reflection, Reconsideration, and Reconnection: Moving Beyond Re-entry
As educators, as students, or as travelers, when we return from experiences abroad everything around us suggests that it’s time to return to “normal living,” life as it is, and by extension life as it should be. The mismatch between these strong environmental pressures to return to normal and our own deeply felt changes can lead to varying degrees of reverse culture shock.

Do your students return from study abroad with a new career goal in mind? Have you worked in the field for many years but want to consider other international education options?
