I currently work as the Associate Director of International Programs at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I also serve as a Study Abroad Research Consultant for the Center for Global Education at UCLA. Prior to my position at Chicago Booth, I worked as the Senior Adviser for International Initiatives in The College and an Assistant Director in the Office of International Affairs, both at The University of Chicago.
I serve on the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) and have co-authored several book chapters, journal articles and reports on international education topics. I have also served on multiple task forces and committees of The Forum on Education Abroad and NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
I received my B.A.in Spanish & Latin American Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and my M.S. in Family Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am currently at the dissertation stage in Comparative and International Education at Loyola University Chicago.
The opinions expressed are my own, and they do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of my employer.
International Higher Education Consulting and related new media activities will be going into hibernation
As of tonight I am going into hibernation for several weeks as dissertation obligations and family matters such as selling one of two condos and then buying and moving into a new house will consume most of my time (outside of my main priorities of being a father and a husband and working at the University of Chicago). I will peek my head out from my cave occasionally to see what's happening but I'm quite tired and look forward to a well needed rest. I look forward to waking from my slumber to forage for interesting and helpful international education related news and opportunities on the internets that I can pass on to others here on IHEC Blog, over on the International Higher Education Consulting website, on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
