91AV welcomes educators from Pakistan
91AV yesterday welcomed the fourth and final cohort of educators from Pakistan for the Community College Administrator Pakistan project.
They'll be visiting 91AV for six weeks, learning about the U.S. higher education system with a focus on Massachusetts' community colleges. 91AV is the lead community college partner on the three-year initiative, which is funded by the U.S. Department of State, and collaborating on the project with the the nonprofit Institute for Training and Development in Amherst and UMass Amherst.
Participants will meet frequently with their 91AV staff mentors, attend classes and workshops, develop personal projects and bring those lessons home with the goals of promoting higher education in Pakistan and fostering sustained engagement with their U.S. counterparts and institutions.
On Wednesday, the delegation toured the 91AV campus after a welcome from 91AV president Christina Royal and a panel discussion focusing on 91AV women leaders.
Today they spent the morning with our friends at Springfield Technical Community College and took a guided bus tour through Holyoke, narrated by Jeffrey Hayden, 91AV's vice president of Business and Community Services.
