�鶹ӰԺ

A group of 21 secondary school teachers from 20 different countries is spending six weeks at �鶹ӰԺ as part of a Fulbright professional development program for foreign educators.  

For the past month, �鶹ӰԺ has hosted 37 international graduate students as part of the Fulbright Pre-Academic Program, a monthlong immersion in American higher education and culture. The group, from 26 countries, arrived on the �鶹ӰԺ Campus on July 21 and was scheduled to depart on Aug. 17 to begin their graduate programs at universities throughout the country.  

A professor from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea, said his recent visit to �鶹ӰԺ enabled him to experience his research into the May 4, 1970, �鶹ӰԺ State shootings in a whole new way.

The Read Center has been actively sharing its educational expertise in collaboration with former Fulbright alumni and their education communities in Ukraine and Nigeria, igniting a vibrant exchange of knowledge and learning opportunities.

International Fulbright scholars studying at �鶹ӰԺ State presented their plans addressing vital issues in their home countries.

A group of 22 secondary school teachers from 20 different countries is spending six weeks at �鶹ӰԺ as part of a Fulbright program of professional development for foreign educators. 

Amanda Johnson, Ph.D., director of the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, has been a driving force for the center’s success.

�鶹ӰԺ is hosting 39 international graduate students for the Fulbright Pre-Academic Program, a monthlong immersion in American higher education and culture. 

Barbara J. Wien, a senior professorial lecturer in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., where she teaches alternatives to war and violence, was fresh out of college when she made her first visit to what was then, �鶹ӰԺ’s Center for Peaceful Change. She was both a keynote workshop presenter and an active participant in the �鶹ӰԺ State-sponsored conference, “Peace Education in an Era of Crisis,” which took place July 11-13 in Kigali.

Delegates attending Peace Education in an Era of Crisis spent three days learning from each other and from the example of the Rwandan people on how to create lasting peace. The conference, which took place July 11-13 in Kigali, Rwanda, was sponsored by �鶹ӰԺ’s School of Peace and Conflict Studies, �鶹ӰԺ State’s Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, the University of Rwanda’s Centre for Conflict Management, and the Aegis Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending genocide and other atrocities in the world. 

�鶹ӰԺ is building on the legacy of May 4, 1970, and the mission of its School of Peace and Conflict Studies, when it joins forces with the University of Rwanda in July to help advance peace education across the globe.
