International Campus Programming

Each year, the CIE selects an area of the globe as a special focus for the entire Berea College campus. The Director of International Education programs special campus-wide events related to the area of focus, including arranging for interdisciplinary special lectures and forums; planning cultural events (such as dance and—The Campus Community Berea College Catalog & Student Handbook 2009-2010 music performances); hosting Fulbright scholars; and holding religious ceremonies. During recent years, the international focus has been on Europe, Japan, Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. For 2010-2011, the focus will be South and Central Asia. By learning about “all peoples of the earth,” the CIE believes that the Berea learning experience can be deepened and strengthened.
