Fulbrights, faculty exchanges, externships

Your rating: None

Have you ever done a Fulbright, faculty exchange, or externship outside your state/region/country? Share your experiences here...

Talk about how you found the information, application process, getting there and settling in, the event itself, getting home and resettling in, the debrief process, what you got out of it (or not).  No thought too small!

 

Sabbaticals?

Your rating: None

Do you get a sabbatical as part of your contract?  Do you take it?

If you take it, what sorts of restrictions are placed on your plans? What have you done in the past? What are your plans for the future?

Has anyone done anything outside the ordinary (faculty exchange in or outside your country, externship, ?)

We are all being hit hard.... no new taxes.. levies not passing... state budgets going toward zero...  What sorts of ideas do you have for paying for (hardware | software | new stuff) outside the normal budget stream?

We have threatened bake sakes, but fortunately (for the buyers!) have not had to cook anything... but someday.. it may come to that!

Tell us a bit about yourself and your community college. What do you teach? What CC are you at? Describe the neighborhood...
