World Learning exchange students at UNH ECE

For the second year in a row the UNH ECE department has been selected by World Learning (WL) as a host institution for international exchange students participating in WL programs. WL is a non-profit organization that, according to its website, “provides education, exchange, and development programs that cultivate the global leadership and social innovation needed in a shrinking world.”

During the 2010-2011 academic year we hosted Angelica Sanabria from Honduras. Angelica participated in the WL UGRAD program. The picture to the left shows Angelica with her UGRAD Post image – UGRAD students use this image as a way to report on their travels around the US. Exploring the US, including by travel, is an integral part of the exchange program. During her time at UNH Angelica impressed me greatly as a smart and capable person. You can read more about her experiences at UNH on eceblogger.

During the 2011-2012 academic year, UNH ECE is hosting two students, smiling in the picture to the left. Huy Dong (left) has completed his freshman year at Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City. Ivan Razumenic is a senior at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. Btw, Ivan is a blogger – take a look at his view of the WL FORECAST program and life in general on his blog.

I’m thrilled that WL has selected UNH as a host institution, and I’m really looking forward to working with both of our exchange students in the coming months. I am also greatful to the UNH CEPS Dean’s Office for their support in bringing in the exchange students.
