IUB Professor Helps Build Teacher Education Program in Macedonia

Background: In 2001, the new multilingual South East European University (SEEU) in Tetovo, Macedonia, was established to provide minority ethnic Albanians fairer access to higher education, the result of a unique international collaboration (see International News, April 2002). Faculty and administrators from Indiana University and member institutions of the Indiana Consortium for International Programs are offering SEEU assistance in faculty and curriculum development, academic and instructional skills training, administrative support, and library development. Below is a piece written in the summer of 2003 by IU Bloomington professor of education Terrence Mason, who spent the months of May and June 2002 teaching at SEEU.

INTERNATIONAL WHO’S WHO

In April, the all-volunteer Bloomington Worldwide Friendship (BWF) marked its fiftieth anniversary with a celebration that included laudatory remarks by Christopher Viers, director of IU’s Office of International Services; Marsha Branford of Bloomington’s Office of the Mayor; and IU Interim President Gerald Bepko. On behalf of the State of Indiana, Dean for International Programs Patrick O’Meara (right) presented a proclamation praising BWF’s long involvement with international students studying in the state to BWF officers (left to right) Ruth Albright, Kate Kroll, and Cynny Robinson.

The musical performances at the Bloomington Worldwide Friendship Celebration included songs by the Chamber Choir of the Indiana University Children’s Choir, directed by Debra Shearer-Dirié.

In spring 2003, the Patten Foundation Lectures invited Uchang Kim (far right), an eminent professor of English literature from Korea University in Seoul, Republic of Korea, to present two lectures, "Margins of Indeterminacy: Humanistic Studies Today, East and West" and "Poetics of Presence: Korean Writing in the Post-Democracy Movement Era." He poses with several IUB faculty specializing in East Asian studies (left to right): Hyo Sang Lee (East Asian Languages and Cultures), Susan Nelson (Fine Arts), Sumie Jones (EALC), Margot Gray (French and Italian), and Michael Robinson (EALC).
