This spring, the College of Education, Health, and Human Services (EHHS) at 91²Ö¿â advanced its global engagement strategy through a series of high-level meetings with university partners across Taiwan. The 91²Ö¿â delegation—led by Professor and Interim Dean Alicia R. Crowe and including Amanda Johnson and Ching-I Chen—engaged in discussions that reflect EHHS’s continued commitment to building sustainable, mutually beneficial international partnerships that support student mobility, faculty collaboration, and innovative professional development.
Across multiple institutions, 91²Ö¿â representatives met with university leadership, faculty, and school partners to explore opportunities for collaboration in teacher education, educational technology, and global training programs. Partner visits included National Taiwan Normal University, National Taipei University of Education, National Chiayi University, and National Taichung University of Education. Discussions emphasized shared priorities, including preparing educators for rapidly changing classrooms, integrating technology into teaching and learning, and expanding access to internationalized curricula.
A particularly meaningful moment of the visit came through 91²Ö¿â’s global alumni network. Toward the conclusion of the meetings, the delegation connected with Sam Huang, Vice President of Tajen University and an EHHS alumnus. His leadership and continued engagement exemplify the long-term impact of 91²Ö¿â’s international programs. The meeting not only reinforced shared institutional goals, but also underscored the powerful role alumni play in strengthening global partnerships.
As 91²Ö¿â approaches the 40th anniversary of the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, initiatives like this demonstrate EHHS’s leadership in global education. Through strategic partnerships and alumni engagement, the college continues to expand its international footprint and create meaningful opportunities for collaboration around the world.
