During the 2008 NAFSA annual conference in Washington, DC, Ruth Sylte of the Manitou Heights Groupinterviewed me about my blogand how I use it to tie in with my side consulting business (International Higher Education Consulting). Ruth uploaded it toher YouTube channelit was my first taste of YouTube (aside from watching funny videos) and the potential this medium has to offer the field of international education as well as my own consulting work. As I was sitting at O'Hare Airport on my way to theNAFSA annual conferencein Kansas City I came up with the idea of doing my own interviews with colleagues and posting them toIHEC Blog's YouTube channel. Well, I was successful in that I was able to conduct three brief interviews with great colleagues. I think this interview with Ruth at theGoAbroad.combooth (@GoAbroadon Twitter) fits very well with this site so please enjoy!
