College of Education bringing guest speaker from Costa Rica
Professor Ileana Vargas Jimenez, dean of the College of Education at Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, will be welcomed as a guest lecturer by Auburn's College of Education on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Jimenez's visit stems from a collaborative academic and research partnership formed by the colleges last year for the purpose of faculty exchanges, doctoral program development, mutual program enrichment, joint research projects and the enhancement of Auburn's outreach and research activities. Jimenez will address the topic of Costa Rican education in a 10:30 a.m. lecture in 2225 Student Center. The event is open to Auburn faculty and students, as well as the general public. She will discuss the structure of Costa Rica's educational system, as well as the factors that have led to the nation having one of the highest literacy rates in the world (94.9 percent, according to the United Nations' Development Programme Report of 2007-2008). Jimenez will be joined on her visit by two fellow faculty members, Carlos Alvarez, director of International Affairs, and Jorge Salazar, professor of health. While Auburn's College of Education faculty members have formed a strong connection to Costa Rica, students have a similar opportunity. The college offers study abroad opportunities in Costa Rica in the form of semester-long teacher education international internships through the Consortium of Overseas Student Teaching and short-term, course-based service-learning placements.
