Ocotber 10, 2008
Leslie Stevenson, director of the Career Development Center at University of Richmond, has been selected to participate in the Fulbright Scholar Program–German International Education Administrators Program.
Stevenson will spend two weeks visiting three German cities, including Berlin, Frankfurt and another to be announced. Her itinerary includes meetings with government and education officials, and visits to campuses and cultural events to learn about German society, culture and higher education systems.
The Fulbright Program is the American government's flagship program in international exchange, administered by the State Department. Participants in the International Education Administrators Programs gain insight about their host country's academic infrastructure and culture, and get a fresh perspective on including international programs on American college campuses. Applicants are chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential.
"I am thrilled to have been selected, and I'm very proud to be able to represent the University of Richmond through the program," said Stevenson. "Being able to visit Germany and learn about the governmental and educational practices there will help broaden my experience and perspective in student development, which will ultimately bring more opportunities to Richmond students."
