Diversity Research and Writing Project—International Education Website
Students will research and write content around increasing international/intercultural diversity in the community. International and intercultural learning doesn’t have to solely occur overseas; there is much that communities can learn from within and from learning together. This project can look at ways to increase globalization in a community through activities, socials, interactions, websites, etc. The project will be general in nature, and articles for each area will be published on WanderingEducators.com to inform readers of the diverse, global possibilities where they live—and the potential to activate such options in their own community. Students will receive an editorship on our site specific to their research area, authorship credit for all articles published, and mentoring/recommendation letters surrounding their topic and growth around global/intercultural aspects of the human lifespan.

Digital Content: International Experiences for International Education Website
Looking for students to discover and interview people who have studied, interned, worked, or taught overseas. As part of the 2014 White House Summit on Global Citizenship and Study Abroad, we’ve published over a thousand profiles of people with international experiences. Usually, this is done in the format of email interviews. However, if a student has the desire or expertise to create video interviews, or in a podcast format, we can work together to find a way to create such content and showcase the student’s skills in this area. Students with excellent writing skills and an interest in international experiences and cultures would be ideal candidates for this project. Students will receive an editorship on our site specific to their research area, authorship credit for all articles published, and mentoring/recommendation letters surrounding their topic.
