"I joined the CIE program in Fall 2009 after spending a year studying Student Development Administration. I wanted to combine my interests in higher education and international education, and the M.Ed. in Globalization and Educational Change allows me to do just that. I had studied abroad in France and Tunisia while earning my BA in History and Middle Eastern Studies at Rutgers, and to be able to earn my masters while serving as a graduate assistant in the Study Abroad office here at Lehigh is a perfect match. Through Lehigh I was able to work with international students in the Global Village this summer. With the CIE program I combined academics and practical experience that is invaluable to me as I start my career."
