Join us in celebrating International Education Week (IEW)! Stop by our table in the International Center lobby to find out about the benefits of global learning!

This event is co-hosted by the Spartan Experience Record and the Center for Global Learning and Innovation. 

Students learn a lot at MSU beyond coursework alone--and now, they can prove it. The Spartan Experience Record (SER) provides an opportunity for students to collect, document, and verify all of the experiences that shape their education, from research opportunities to leadership positions to on-campus employment.

Both students and faculty/staff are encouraged to attend. Advisors, coordinators, instructors, etc, will learn how to add relevant global learning activities into the record while students will learn how to use the SER to enhance their transcript and resume.  

Presenters: 

• Sarah Esler, Director, Spartan Experience Record
• Shannon Logan, Coordinator, Spartan Experience Record
• Opal Leeman Bartzis, Assistant Dean for Global Learning and Innovation & Executive Director of Education Abroad

This event is hosted by the Global Education Leaders Community, which is open to all who are interested in global education (ESL, world language, education abroad, etc.) programs in higher education in the US (students, TAs, program leaders, faculty, Academic Specialists, support staff, advisors, administrators, etc.). 

At the November 17th lunch-and-learn, attendees will discuss Chapter 17 in the Routledge Language Program Development and Administration handbook "Planning for and Enacting Differentiated Instruction in the Postsecondary Language Curriculum"  written by Mandy Menke (Spanish, University of Minnesota) and Paul Malovrh (Spanish, University of South Carolina) . The ebook is available at the MSU Libraries (https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003361213). If you are interested, read the chapter, bring a lunch, and let's exchange some ideas and discuss differentiated instruction! We look forward to seeing you there. 

For further questions about this event or the learning community in general, please reach out to Dr. Senta Goertler at goertler(at)msu.edu.
