The
North Carolina Study Abroad/Global Engagement Partnership,
a collaborative among that state's 11 Historically Black Colleges and
Universities and IES Abroad, leader in international customized programs
on
February 13 at
4-5 p.m. Eastern Time will be hosting a webinar to discuss the new
2014 Public Health Program in Jamaica.
This
program promises to deliver learning experiences that will complement
and extend what its participants learn in their classrooms. This
four-week, five credit course is for students enrolled in public health,
social work, sports medicine; food and nutrition and nursing programs.
Detailed information on content and learning objectives will be answered
during the webinar by
Gretchen Cook-Anderson: Director of Diversity Recruiting and Advising,
Earl M. Brown: Coordinator of the NC SAGE Partnership and
Steven W. Jones: President/CEO IERC Education Foundation.
Public
health is an increasingly global field and highly competitive. Also
more students want and need the experience of travel abroad, but can't
justify the expense and time away from their concentration. "Well there
are ways to pay for it and our goal is for the course's content to make
these future graduates stand-out as they enter the marketplace," says
Steven W. Jones.
On-the-ground recruiting has been the sole task of
Earl Brown.
Since January, he has visited no fewer than 10 campuses. "It's not
easy, but for a pilot like this one you have to sit down with students
and faculty first. That's the way it is. For African American students
attending an HBCU, this is a golden opportunity. I am a product of an
HBCU,
Morgan State University, and have been around the world to no fewer that 35 nations.
Today for these young people it's more important than ever. Success
requires integrating course work and career studies into a global
landscape," he added. For more information and to register go to:
