Glenda Jordan is studying abroad for an entire year at the CEA Global Campus in Paris. Here is her story. Where this story should begin is a mystery to me, as a million factors have led me up to this point in my life. I suppose I could start with when I first stepped onto the streets of my new home. I had made an incredibly long journey from England over to Paris by bus, train, bus, ferry, bus, train, métro, then on foot. I emerged from Rambuteau métro station onto the city streets, burdened down with all my stuff for the year. Exhilaration and pure euphoria can’t really describe the emotions that were running through me. A little scared of getting lost, I eventually made it to the CEA Global Campus in Paris. After another taxi ride to my dorm (AEPP), I found myself in my new room. I (sort of) unpacked my things and went outside to the courtyard to do what would shape my entire experience while in Europe: hoopdance. I am a professional hoopdancer and I do performances with LED and fire hoops. I have done many shows, but none in a metropolis like Paris. Over the next few days, I got acquainted with my new roommates, CEA, and of course, the city. I began contacting all the major clubs in Paris, sending out my resume and some journalist photos. In the meantime I would go out at night on the weekends and street perform, my favorite locations being: in front of the Pompidou, the Bastille Opera house, and the magnificent Notre Dame. Other than having the incredible experience of busking in front of the most iconic buildings in the world, I began to make friends with other Parisian street performers and other denizens of counter-culture. Eventually I was invited to an underground venue, which was a graffiti art-covered, abandoned, underground parking lot that had been turned into a practice center on Monday nights. A DJ plays techno-trance music while jugglers, poi dancers and other circus-like artists practice their routines for the streets. This was the Paris that I was looking for, where I wanted to live every second in its entirety. Eventually Club Queen, one of Paris’ biggest clubs on the Champs-Elysées, contacted me. I did a couple shows there and it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. I even had my own costumer and makeup/hair artist. The crowd (consisting of several hundred people) went crazy and cheered the whole time while I performed. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. Although the performances paid very well, I needed some more money on a day-to-day basis, so I walked into the Irish pub across the street and asked for a job. I got the job in the first few weeks I was there, but my French was still not very good at that point. Working that first night taking food and drink orders in English and French while running to and from the kitchen, trying not to break anything and avoiding basically spontaneously combusting was one of the most stressful moments of my life. It also accelerated my French. If I didn’t know what to say or if I couldn’t understand what the customer was asking, I would mess up whatever order they wanted. My vocabulary augmented profoundly, and I quickly learned essential French phrases that I’ve relied on ever since. Plus, it made me feel like I was actually living in Paris. At the CEA Global Campus in Paris, I’m taking classes in Haute Couture in Paris (a fashion history course), Introduction to Drawing, Modernist Art History, and French Conversation. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my classes! I honestly can’t wait to go to school. My professors are amazing, the courses are incredible and extremely challenging without being daunting, and I learn so much every day. The classes are small, so I feel I can get extreme individual attention. I’ve had classes before where I feel like the professor is just going through the motions and has a monotone syllabus that never changes. I feel like here, they honestly care if you’re learning and expand the course with outside reading, museum visits, lectures, etc. It’s really a hands-on experience. Did I mention I love my classes? I can’t even compare how I was when I first stepped foot onto French soil. I remember not being able to understand one word in French, and struggling to think how to say simple things like, “How much does this cost?” and “Can you tell me where _____ is?” Now I can hold a fluent conversation with pretty much anybody. I understand about 3-4 out of every 5 words, but obviously it depends on the subject I’m discussing and who I’m discussing it with. I still have moments where my mind goes blank, and I can’t quite express myself fully, but I feel I do pretty well. I just had an audition yesterday to open a new soirée party at a large club close to my apartment. I really feel like I belong to this city. It’s become such a huge part of me. I’m not just spending a year abroad here; I’m living here; working, meeting new people, taking care of my own place, and generally becoming ‘one with the city.’ Wow, could that have sounded more cliché? Coming from a farm, I never pictured myself becoming comfortable in a concrete jungle, but Paris is just one of those places that can imbed itself deep in your heart and spirit if you let it. In a way, it’s also very sad. I know I have to leave one day, and I will never really feel satisfied in just one place. I miss home very much and I want to go back at some point, but Paris has just become a part of me, and feels as much like a real home as anywhere else. I will certainly miss it.

CEA Global Education is pleased to welcome Mr. John Hudson as the Campus Director and Associate Academic Dean for our ninth and newest Global Campus in Buenos Aires. CEA is currently accepting applications for Fall 2010, but Mr. Hudson graciously agreed to take time away from campus preparations to answer a few questions about why universities and students should look to Buenos Aires for study abroad. Why a Global Campus in your city? (Mr. H) Buenos Aires is one of the 10 largest cities in the world. Traditionally known as the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires is a hotbed of culture and activity and an exciting place that literally “never sleeps.” Like many U.S. cities, Buenos Aires is a “melting pot,” its citizens descending from different waves of immigration originally from all over Europe and in recent years from Asia as well as other Latin American countries. What does your city offer U.S. educators that is unique to your location? Buenos Aires is known throughout Latin America for its human talent, particularly in the educational world. Argentine professors and trainers are well-respected and in demand throughout the region, and Argentina has an academic tradition beginning in the 17th century when Jesuits established the first university in the country. The country continued its tradition with excellent higher public education in the 20th century and the growth of private universities in recent years. As a result, Buenos Aires is an attractive destination for college students not only from Latin America, but also from the U.S. and Europe. Students will benefit from the Buenos Aires culture, thus learning not only from what they see in the classroom, but also what they will discover throughout the city. What are the advantages of sending students to this Global Campus? The CEA Global Campus in Buenos Aires incorporates active and reflective learning across the curriculum, encouraging students to draw connections between their classroom experiences and the daily life of their host community. Students will have the opportunity to better understand a major city in a region sometimes referred to as “America’s back yard” and of strategic significance to the U.S. By increasing students’ familiarity with Latin culture and language, it also helps contribute to understanding the culture and language of many Hispanic Americans, the fastest-growing minority in the U.S. In addition, the Global Campus operates on a U.S.-style academic calendar, improving student access to this important region. What can U.S. universities expect from students who return from studying abroad at your campus? Students returning from Buenos Aires will have gained the invaluable experience of living and learning in a major developing country, and will have acquired a greater awareness of the cultural differences and the challenges of communicating, interacting and doing any kind of business with people in this part of the world. Buenos Aires possesses the tremendous advantage of offering students the familiarity of a European culture but with the challenges they will find in any foreign location throughout their lives. What can students expect to learn at this Global Campus? Students will have the opportunity to learn our culture and customs, including our fascinating history, delicious food and proud traditions. Of course, students have an excellent opportunity of learning or improving their Spanish, as well as getting to know our diverse geography. Argentina goes from tropical jungle in the north to Antarctic ice in the south, and offers all kinds of variety in between! Why should students consider studying at a Global Campus in Buenos Aires over other locations? Buenos Aires offers a great opportunity to combine academic achievement along with all the factors that have made the city an attractive destination for people from all over the world: a fascinating culture, great food and many entertainment opportunities. In addition, Buenos Aires in 2010 will be hosting many events in celebration of Argentina’s bicentennial. Mr. John Hudson is the Campus Director and Associate Academic Dean for CEA’s ninth and newest Global Campus in Buenos Aires, Argentina. To learn more and apply for the inaugural class of Fall 2010, check out the Global Campus in Buenos Aires .

G’day Shirley! So I’m alive and well in Sydney. the plane ride was way too long, but I survived. You should inform anyone that wants to study here they should bring sleeping pills with them, otherwise they will not survive that ride. It’s beautiful here. The weather is really nice, its been about 80s or so the past 2 weeks I’ve been here. I’ve done a lot so far. Went to the city, the beaches, got to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, saw the Opera House up close, went to the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. The culture here is so interesting. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve attached some photos of some places in Sydney for you to check out. I started class last week. The course load is something I’m really going to have to focus on, hopefully it will be alright though. My classes are a lot bigger than Keystone. In my lectures theres about 300 students some with 500, so BIG difference. The apartment is really nice, I was surprised. I thought it was going to be unbareable, but it definetly is nicer than I expected. I have my own room and have 3 other roommates, 2 from Marquette University and one from Shanghi, China. Quiet a cultural mix here, more so than home. Hope all is well. Heard you are getting hit with a lot of snow. From the land down under, Katie

Spring break is fast approaching. Some college students already have their all-inclusive vacations planned out for beach-side locations like Cancun and South Padre Island, taking the week to relax, kick back, and take a break from campus life . Others, however, have alternative plans, and hope to give back a little in the wake of a number of recent devastating natural disasters. An article in Inside Higher Ed yesterday describes the plans of David Adewumi, a Pennsylvania State University student who will join 10 of his peers on a relief trip to Haiti . They plan to spend the week of their spring break helping with minor medical care, food distribution and building shelters for those who lost their homes and livelihoods in the recent quake. A group of 20 to 25 students from the University of Maryland, College Park , and Howard University have similar plans to spend their spring breaks in Haiti, training Haitians to build homes using dirt-filled bags. The earthquake in Chile on Feb. 27 may cause some to divert their spring break attentions to that country as well. Some schools, like the City University of New York, have already expanded their relief efforts to include both Haiti and Chile. (So far, all students who had already been living or visiting in the South American country have been reported safe , including 27 University of Notre Dame students and faculty members, a group of business-school students and faculty members from the University of Tennessee , and students studying abroad from the University of South Carolina at Columbia .) Organizers of alternative spring breaks say college students’ relief trips are nothing new. But the speed with which students have mobilized to assist countries with recent disasters is. Students have expressed so much interest that some organizers, relief agencies, and college administrators worry that the situation in both Haiti and Chile is not stabilized enough to make for a meaningful experience for spring breakers. In the Inside Higher Ed article, Suzanne Brooks, the director of the Center for International Disaster Information, says inexperienced volunteers should wait a year before planning any relief missions to Haiti. “I don’t think it’s impossible that a year from now for spring break there may be some programs up and running, but I really don’t think it makes sense for this year,” she said in the article. It may also not be the safest option, other say, or even a wise idea to send more relief agencies out there when those already on site have had trouble finding sufficient food, water, and housing. Lucky for you, there are plenty of options if you want to organize an alternative spring break closer to home. At Tulane University , “ service learning ” has become a part of the curriculum, as students work to continue rebuilding a city still suffering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Those interested in local community service opportunities should also be aware that many nonprofits reward those good deeds with scholarships.

Overview The “Vienna International Post-Graduate Program for Molecular Life Siences” (VIPS) supports scientists from their successful Ph.D. to establishing their own independent research group. This innovative approach combines scientific specialization in one area of research and the development of an independent research focus of the participants within the framework of a 3-5 year long training. As an initiative of the Max F. Perutz Laboratories, VIPS will become one more incentive for international researchers to choose Vienna for this important part of their career development. The Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research (BMWF) and the City of Vienna support the new “Vienna International Post-Graduate Program for Molecular Life Sciences”, short VIPS, with 5 Mio. Euro. Within the framework of this project, the Max F. Perutz Laboratories offer promising young scientists the possibility to spend their post-doctoral time in a unique training program in Vienna. In bi-annual international calls, the best candidates will be selected through a competitive screening process. During their three to five year long stay at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories, the successful PostDocs will contribute their know-how and are in return prepared for their next important career leap: the establishment of their own independent research group. Customized advanced training and guidance by experienced scientists at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories will help the young researches to stay motivated and reach their goal of becoming group leaders. “This will set a new standard in the Austrian science community”, says the RNA-researcher and Wittgenstein-Award laureate Renée Schroeder, one of the initiators of VIPS: “Especially in the difficult time after finishing the Ph.D., young scientists rarely receive support to become independent. VIPS will offer a new approach for their promotion from which all PostDocs at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories will profit and which, in turn, can also be implemented at other institutes. ” The first successful applicants will be coming to Vienna in summer 2010. Until then, the future mentors will also go through advanced training to prepare for the task ahead. With this, the VIPS program also sets new standards for the further education of established scientists. The VIPS program is a pilot project in the field of basic research (molecular biology) at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories of the Campus Vienna Biocenter. Starting with this pilot project, a new model for post-graduate education can be developed, which can also be extended to other fields of research. VIPS has the potential to develop into a Viennese-wide program for the recruitment of top-class young scientists in the life sciences. Further Information: www.mfpl.ac.at/VIPS Max F. Perutz Laboratories The Max F. Perutz Laboratories are a joint-venture of the University of Vienna and the Medical University, founded 2005. This inter-university collaboration is a new and innovative approach to strengthen research and education at both universities. The 60 research groups at the institute in the Dr.-Bohr-Gasse work in the area of molecular cell biology.

CEA’s new Global Campus in Shanghai , China, is officially accepting applications for its inaugural classes of Summer and Fall 2010! American universities and colleges can now access one of the world’s fastest growing economies and China’s financial and business center, Shanghai, to enhance their own curriculum and study abroad offerings. Why Shanghai? Shanghai offers faculty the chance to open a window into a culture that is rich in both history and taste for all things modern and Western. It’s no wonder China is growing in popularity among a list of less traditional study abroad options for college students today. To answer the question further, we’ve invited our esteemed Campus Director and Academic Dean for Shanghai, Dr. Yanfeng Li, to share his thoughts with you. Dr. Li: CEA’s Shanghai Global Campus is hosted on the campus of East China Normal University (ECNU) in near central Shanghai, close to business and commercial areas. Students can easily explore the city and obtain internship opportunities. ECNU is nationally well-known, often rated among the top three universities in Shanghai, and its language teacher training program is one of the largest in China. CEA’s Global Campus facility includes offices, a computer lab, library and classrooms, and the space is being renovated to make use of up-to-date technology. Because of CEA’s close relationship with ECNU, the university will provide Chinese language instructors, while CEA recruits its own area studies faculty directly. Faculty training workshops will be organized jointly and regularly to make the most of professional, cross cultural opportunities for sharing best practices. Chinese language classes at the Global Campus will be small with usually less than eight students. Students have their choice of courses – they may elect to take all Chinese language classes, or all area studies courses taught in English, or a combination of the two. Students taking Chinese language courses also will have access to additional one-on-one tutoring after class. Area studies feature ample opportunity for excursions, site visits and on-site case studies. CEA also will arrange overnight trips outside of Shanghai. CEA works with the University of New Haven to provide and carry out strict academic policies. Our strategic relationship with UNH helps ensure CEA students receive a high-quality education comparable to their home schools. Shanghai is the leader of China’s urbanization and also is one of the most influential global cities in the world. The World EXPO is coming to Shanghai from May through October 2010, which further makes Shanghai a very unique place to study abroad, as students will be able to see both the world’s latest technology and the international culture that accompanies visiting nations and tourists. Dr. Li received his MA and Ph.D. in Chinese Literature from the University of Hawaii. His professional experience includes teaching Chinese language at the University of Pennsylvania for four years and directing CIEE Shanghai Center’s Chinese language and Advanced Chinese Studies Programs for nearly five years.

This post is the first in a series exploring all that Kansas City, Missouri (the location of NAFSA’s 2010 Annual Conference & Expo) has to offer. Thanks to Michael Hernandez of Park University and the 2010 Local Arrangements Team for this contribution. Add your own Kansas City barbecue recommendations, barbecue recipes, and barbecue trivia as comments! “Kansas City barbecue” refers to the specific inner-city style of barbecue that evolved from the pit of cook Henry Perry in the early 1900s in the city’s 18 th and Vine district. (That neighborhood soon became famous in its own right for fostering the development of jazz greats like Count Basie and Charlie Parker. Visit the district and learn about its history at NAFSA’s cultural evening at the American Jazz Museum on Wednesday, June 2!) Today Kansas City has more than 100 barbecue restaurants and is known in Missouri as “world’s barbecue capital.” U.S. presidents and presidential hopefuls have all made a point to feast on the city’s barbecue when passing through. Some of the best and most diverse barbecue restaurants in Kansas City are within a short cab or bus ride from the convention center and NAFSA hotels, and many of them have direct connections to Henry Perry, including Arthur Bryant’s , which carried on Perry’s tradition after he passed away, and Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q , started by George Gates and one of Perry’s cooks, Arthur Pinkard, in 1946. For the same traditional barbecue in an upscale setting, try Fiorella’s Jack Stack BBQ . You can also hit Winslow’s , Rosedale Barbeque , and Danny Edwards BBQ . No matter which restaurant you choose, after consuming large amounts of pork ribs, smoked chicken, brunt ends, or sausage, you will never think the same about barbecue again!
