CEA Goes to Forum Conference in Charlotte, N.C.

As the Forum conference in Charlotte approaches, I thought I would recall the active discussion last fall regarding School of Record partnerships between study abroad providers and colleges and universities. This was a stimulating exchange and certainly got us thinking at CEA Global Education. Moreover, as Forum and AACRAO have announced a joint working group on standards of good practice for school of record relationships - with an initial report due in June - this topic gains in relevance at this time.

As I mentioned in the course of the discussion last fall, CEA was planning on offering a session at FORUM on this very topic. The session, "Assuring Academic Value through Multiple Perspectives: The Creative Tensions among Home Office, Onsite Dean, and University of Record," - sorry for the long-winded title - will be held on Friday, March 26, 1:45 - 3:00 p.m. in the Tryon Room at the Westin Charlotte.

The session will focus on the necessary tensions among key partners in such an arrangement. How do these players navigate the waters of student demand, academic integrity, faculty oversight, and standards of good practice and accreditation between the U.S. and overseas programs? CEA and the University of New Haven are eager to share their experience in this area and welcome commentary and critique of our approach. We hope to see you in Charlotte!
