Welcome to the 东航公告

Dear Friends and Colleagues: 

We’ve all spent a good deal of time online over the past two years. 2020年3月, COVID-19 forced us out of our workplaces and into our home offices, urging us to make the “camera on” or “camera off” choice before each meeting, 提出问题, “你能看到我的屏幕吗?” more times than we’d like to admit, and respond to the myriad of Zoom meeting invitations we received in place of conference sessions, 讲座, 生日聚会, 婴儿淋浴, and countless other in-person events we might have once taken for granted. 然而,, here we are two years later and we find ourselves in the midst of navigating all things COVID and that all too familiar feeling of being in Zoom meetings where someone inevitably says, “你是温和的.”   

We have lived so much of our lives online over the past two years that we’ve actually had the opportunity to do some critical reflection in between Zoom meetings and webinars. 在东航, we realized that we have missed the opportunity to share stories of our academic research, our conference presentations, our celebrated staff in the U.S. and abroad, and what it is that makes CEA a strong and unique academic organization. We want to amplify these stories and share them with you, 我们的合作伙伴, so that we can continue to challenge ourselves, 作为一个组织成长, 扩大, 最重要的是, 倾听引导.  

That’s why we’ve created this platform, the CEA Bulletin. I hope you’ll bookmark this page and come here often to learn about what CEA 宝博体育 has been doing, where we have been presenting, and who we are as an organization. However, if you’re like me, you might have too many bookmarks to keep track of. We’ll send occasional Bulletin posts in our newsletter, and if there’s a certain topic you would like to see covered here, I hope you will reach out to me or your University Relations Director 把它放到我们的雷达上. 

2022 is an important year for CEA, and certainly for the field of international education. 4月, CEA will celebrate our 25th anniversary, bookended with gatherings at the Forum and NAFSA Annual Conferences, where we will have the chance to reunite with friends and colleagues we haven’t seen in person in years. We are reopening CEA Study Centers that have been closed since 2020, and we’re looking to expand more high-impact educational practices around the globe. We are getting back to the work we love and are so passionate about, but the challenges remain in growing back and reimagining education abroad in this new and shifting landscape. My hope is that 2022 will be the year of recovery and rebound for education abroad, and there is no question that CEA could not achieve this forward momentum without partners like you. We look forward to many more years of partnership that provides access to global learning for all.
