Study Abroad Faculty Resources:
Dr Karen Koza’s marketing students participated in a virtual presentation for the business faculty at Loyola College in Spring 2009.
In Summer 2010, we will be rolling our first “official” faculty resource page. This will consist of a variety of tools including an online handbook and links to valuable faculty resources. Meanwhile, should you have any questions about leading a course abroad or other opportunities abroad, please contact Missy Gluckmann.
WCSU will be hosting the fall International Conference on Friday, October 16th. Proposals are due by June 30th. Faculty and students are strongly encouraged to participate by submitting proposals. http://web.ccsu.edu/csuiec/
