Alison Climes graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in International Studies and Spanish in 2015. Her post-graduation journey took her from Santiago to Tucson to Monterey and now back to Ann Arbor, where she works as a Student Engagement Coordinator at the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center.

After graduation, Alison spent a semester teaching English through the English Opens Doors Program in Puente Alto, Chile which gave her the opportunity to practice her Spanish and gain further exposure to the world of education. She then returned to Michigan and taught a semester of high-school Spanish before moving to Tucson, Arizona, to work with a refugee education program for middle- and high-school youth. Her interest in comparative and international education, and education diplomacy programs inspired her to pursue a master's program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California, in International Education Management (IEM). During her Master's program, she led youth international exchange programs and completed her Master's degree in 2019.

In her current role at the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center, Alison aims to help students identify their own strengths and develop a strong sense of self while also working to become active citizens engaged in their communities and working towards social justice.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at is-michigan@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Webinar: Increasing International Connections for Knowledge Mobilization (October 15, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78134 78134-19965486@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 15, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

Community engagement professionals from UW-Madison will facilitate a session with EU practitioners to increase cross-country connections for knowledge exchange. With so much output around engagement within our own borders, it can be difficult knowing where to access new knowledge coming out globally, and there is much to share between countries about different ways to organize community-based research in all its forms (CBR, CBPR, PAR). In our experience, graduate students and new faculty have said they want to learn more about different models to create equitable research and class projects. The International Living Knowledge Network of “Science Shops” has a 40-year history using principles of knowledge co-creation in a ‘brokerage’ type fashion. Forging positive links with researchers in the EU and beyond would also yield mutually beneficial exchanges of information and resources in both directions, helping increase the reach of CBR and innovation projects globally. While current U.S. political polarization creates heavy headwinds for science and research, many U.S. individuals and institutions are working hard to encourage knowledge co-production, including some robust activities in CBR and Citizen Science we can share and compare.

The LSA Scholarship Office and the Office of Financial Aid will join us on May 20th to help answer questions you may have on funding your semester program abroad as well as walking you through the application process! First Step sessions will be offered each day of the event as well. Each info session will be interactive. Each session will offer an opportunity to interact with advisors and address questions or concerns you may have regarding study abroad. To get a general idea of participation, please RSVP below and select info sessions that you'd be interested in. We'll send you a Zoom link as we get closer to the event!

DISCLAIMER: With each passing term, a small yet increasing number of our programs seem to offer the possibility of receiving students, so CGIS proceeded with very cautious optimism that students will be able to study abroad in the coming academic year. CGIS and the University of Michigan continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation as it develops worldwide. Parents and other concerned parties who would like to receive this information should ask their students to share the updates with them.
