"The CIE program at Lehigh University prepared me to embark on a wide variety of rich and meaningful opportunities in education. After graduating in May 2010 with a M.Ed., I find myself not only filled with the skills and passion two years of gradaute study inevitably instills in students, but also free to explore various paths in the diverse world of comparative education. I am able to explore the field of education from historical, political, economic, and developmental perspectives. From sitting in the archives in the British Library, Kent State, and Stanford University researching "left-over" topics from gradaute school to preparing for my move to Siem Reap, Cambodia to begin my career - the knowledge I learned from the CIE program is with me every step of the way. I feel ready, prepared, and excited for the next chapter in my life."
