A team of faculty and administra- tors from College Misericordia will create an international studies com- ponent =in their honors program courses. Through the courses, the college seeks to introduce interna- tional “education into the curricu- Kevin McGovern, assistant aca- demic dean, will oversee the Miseri- cordia project. The project will receive $5,000 in a range of services from the Institute for ‘Development in International Education at the University of Pennsylvania. The Institute’s goal is to foster international education by helping a college implement local projeets within the context of the tullege’s mission, needs and priori- ies. The Institute was established in 1983 by Penn’s College of General Studies and the Pennsylvania Coun- cil on International Education (PaCIE). It is supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Educa- tion’s Center for International Edu- cation. In the past two years, the PENN- PaCIE Institute offered financial support and consultants to faculty and administrators from 21 Com- monwealth colleges who felt that a lack of resources hampered their efforts to improve curricula and services in international education. The Institute provided each col- lege with seed money and the advice of consultants with extensive experience in the field. Project par- ticipants met in the spring at an extensive conference with local cor- porate and public sector specialists in international trade and com- merce. This year, the Institute will allo- cate grants among 15 universities and colleges and offer each the services of one of PENN-PaCIE’s eight consultants. Each institution will confront a unique problem in international education. PENN-PaCIE’s project director, David Burnett, feels the Institute has successfully addressed the needs of participating institutions. “Faculty members are famous for having excellent ideas, but hard for somebody teaching three or four courses each week,” said Burnett. “Our consultants know how to take an idea in an institutional setting and make it happen,” he said. ‘‘At a small institution, a significant amount can be done with modest resources.” Sophia Peterson, professor of political science at West Virginia University, will serve as a consul- tant to the Misericordia team. This year’s participating teams will meet at Penn in'June for a four- day conference to discuss the devel- opment and direction of their projects.
