Peru Textile Restoration Complete |

In December IFSA-Butler's Peru program adopted a Wari (a civilization predating the Incas) culture textile that was discovered at the Huaca Pucllana. Courtney Ng, a Rice University archaeology student, has been part of the restoration process as part of her community work for the IFSA-Butler Social Realities course.
The restoration of the textile is now finished and is proudly framed. Read more about this project.
The two photos below show the textile before the restoration (top) and the finished project (bottom).

 IFSA-Butler is happy to announce that it will host a Forum on Education Abroad workshop in Indianapolis on Wednesday, February 24.
The Forum's signature workshop, "An Introduction to the Forum's Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad," will take place from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. at the Omni Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
The workshop will provide an overview of and training in the use of the Forum's Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad, the Code of Ethics for Education Abroad and the Standards of Good Practice for Short-Term Education Abroad Programs. It is ideally suited both for those unfamiliar with these documents, as well as for colleagues who want to delve more deeply into how to use them for program development, assessment and improvement. Workshop activities include analyses of case studies that teach participants how to use these resources to assess education abroad programs.
For more information on the workshop, including how to register, visit the Forum's workshop page.
IFSA-Butler is a founding member of the Forum, and we are proud to collaborate with the Forum on this professional development opportunity. |
