Welcome and thanks for visiting! I am excited to be keeping this blog about my upcoming experience on the Fulbright International Education Administrator's Program to Japan. I will be traveling to Japan June 10-28, 2012 and will be visiting numerous higher education institutions; meeting with faculty, staff, and students; and participating in cultural events in order to learn more about Japanese education and society.  The Fulbright IEA Program is designed to help international education professionals gain an in-depth working knowledge of the Japanese education system, as well as build relationships with US and Japanese colleagues. I am honored to be a recipient, and am very excited about my upcoming adventure. I will be updating the blog regularly from Japan to share information gained on the program. Please check back soon for updates!
