New Online Student Evaluations
Over the course of the last year, we have been working to improve our student evaluation reporting and in fall 2003 introduced a new online student evaluation system. The new system is simpler for students to use, which has greatly increased student response, and also provides more detailed reporting than in the past.

Comprehensive evaluation summaries for all fall 2003 programs are now available on the CIEE website here. Using the Quick Find tool, go to evaluations and reviews, select student evaluation, then choose the fall 2003 CIEE Study Center from the title column. Included in each report are responses to 38 questions related to pre-departure information, academic programming, and living conditions.
 
As an incentive for students to complete the online evaluation process this past fall, we held a drawing for a $1000 travel voucher from STA Travel. Each student who completed the evaluation was entered into the drawing and the winner was Daniel Blanchard, a student at University of Massachusetts at Amherst who attended the CIEE Study Center in Santiago, Chile. Congratulations Daniel!

CIEE in the News
CNN Headline News recently featured Work, Teach, and Volunteer Abroad programs as a cost- effective way to travel overseas this summer. Read the full article and see what CIEE and others have to say about these opportunities.

Work
CIEE offers programs in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. Students can work for as little as 2 months, live with the locals and add an international dimension to their resume. For more information, go to www.ciee.org/work.

Volunteer
Your students can join a group of 10 to 20 other volunteers from around the world. They’ll spend 2-4 weeks working, living, and having fun together, and make a long-lasting contribution to the international community. Go to www.ciee.org/volunteer to learn more.

Teach
After they graduate, your students can spend 5 or 10 months teaching English in China or Thailand. They will be paid a local salary and receive free furnished accommodations. While teaching students to better their English, they will learn things about their culture they cannot expect.

CIEE at University of Minnesota Curriculum Integration Conference
Both Martin Hogan and Bradley Rink from the CIEE Portland office will attend the University of Minnesota Curriculum Integration Conference later this month.

Martin will be on a panel that looks at third party providers’ role in the process of curriculum integration at the University of Minnesota. He will discuss how CIEE advises on curricular matches and works with sending institutions to deliver courses that meet with specific requirements. He will also discuss CIEE faculty site visits, International Faculty Development Seminars, and the Annual Conference as activities that assist institutions in meeting a number of international programming needs as well as staff development objectives.
 
CIEE Overseas Staff E-mail

To simplify communication with overseas staff, CIEE resident directors all been assigned new e-mail addresses. All CIEE resident directors now have e-mail addresses utilizing the same syntax as CIEE Portland staff: first initial first name, last name, @ciee.org (i.e., Maritheresa Frain, Resident Director in Seville, can now be reached at MFrain@ciee.org). We hope this makes it easier for you to communicate with CIEE staff overseas.
