International Focus

Each year, the CIE selects an area of the globe as a special focus for the entire Berea College campus. The Director of International Education programs special campus-wide events related to the area of focus, including arranging for interdisciplinary special lectures and forums, planning cultural events (such as dance and music performances), hosting Fulbright scholars, and holding religious ceremonies. During recent years, the international focus has been on Japan, Africa, East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. By learning about "all peoples of the earth," the CIE believes that the Berea learning experience can be deepened and strengthened.
