Gilman International Scholarship Program's Underrepresented Institution Workshop:

Join IIE one day earlier and participate in the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program's Underrepresented Institution Workshop in Houston, TX on Thursday, February 18, 2010.  The challenge facing many underrepresented institutions, in the effort to increase the numbers of non-traditional students who study abroad, is a lack of resources to promote study abroad and limited funding sources available to students. To help institutions address this challenge the Gilman Scholarship Program is hosting a one-day workshop to provide faculty and administrators with the tools to help increase the numbers of underrepresented students who study abroad, including community college students. Faculty and administrators from underrepresented institutions and/or those that work with underrepresented students are welcome to attend.  The Gilman International Scholarship Program is administered by IIE and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. There is no cost to attend the workshop and it will be held in the same hotel as the IIE - AACC Workshop.  For more information and to register for the Gilman Workshop, please contact Olga Tunga, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 713-621-6300 ext. 16.
