Join us for Coffee Hour from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in the International Center, Spartan Rooms B&C. 

MSU is home to dozens of current, returned, and aspiring Fulbrighters. All are welcome to join us for this casual get-together preceding International Education Week. A returned Scholar might chat with a visiting student from their host country. An outbound grantee might meet a Humphrey Fellow in the same discipline. A current FLTA might connect with someone who just applied for a student grant to their home country. Join personnel from the Office for International Students and Scholars and MSU's Fulbright Office to mingle with others in the Fulbright sphere!

Please RSVP here to help us with our planning. 

The mixer will take place in the International Center, room 303. The address is 427 N. Shaw Lane, East Lansing MI 48824-1035. Parking is available for MSU faculty/staff in lot 40 (enter off westbound North Shaw Lane). Attendees arriving from off-campus can park directly across from the International Center in lot 39 (enter off eastbound South Shaw Lane). This is a pay-by-plate lot; payment can be made at the kiosk in the parking lot or with the SPOT ON mobile payment smartphone app. More visitor parking information is available here. 

Join us in celebrating International Education Week (IEW)! Stop by our table in the International Center lobby to find out about the benefits of global learning!

This event is co-hosted by the Spartan Experience Record and the Center for Global Learning and Innovation. 

Students learn a lot at MSU beyond coursework alone--and now, they can prove it. The Spartan Experience Record (SER) provides an opportunity for students to collect, document, and verify all of the experiences that shape their education, from research opportunities to leadership positions to on-campus employment.

Both students and faculty/staff are encouraged to attend. Advisors, coordinators, instructors, etc, will learn how to add relevant global learning activities into the record while students will learn how to use the SER to enhance their transcript and resume.  

Presenters: 

• Sarah Esler, Director, Spartan Experience Record
• Shannon Logan, Coordinator, Spartan Experience Record
• Opal Leeman Bartzis, Assistant Dean for Global Learning and Innovation & Executive Director of Education Abroad

This event is hosted by the Global Education Leaders Community, which is open to all who are interested in global education (ESL, world language, education abroad, etc.) programs in higher education in the US (students, TAs, program leaders, faculty, Academic Specialists, support staff, advisors, administrators, etc.). 

At the November 17th lunch-and-learn, attendees will discuss Chapter 17 in the Routledge Language Program Development and Administration handbook "Planning for and Enacting Differentiated Instruction in the Postsecondary Language Curriculum"  written by Mandy Menke (Spanish, University of Minnesota) and Paul Malovrh (Spanish, University of South Carolina) . The ebook is available at the MSU Libraries (https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003361213). If you are interested, read the chapter, bring a lunch, and let's exchange some ideas and discuss differentiated instruction! We look forward to seeing you there.
