GLOBE TROTTING: FROM TOURISM TO LEADING A LIFE ABROAD
Stephen Ferst, Center for Global Engagement
Dr. Stephen Ferst, Executive Director from the Center for Global Engagement, will talk about all the ways you can discover the world outside the classroom. Starting with being a tourist and moving through various pathways to leading a full-life abroad, Dr. Ferst will give tips, hints, and suggestions from the inside.
Dr. Stephen Ferst serves as the Executive Director and is charged with providing the overall direction for the Center and campus internationalization. He has worked in international education for more than 25 years in multiple roles in study abroad, international student and scholar services, and strategic planning. Dr. Ferst has studied, lived, and worked abroad in Israel and England and has traveled to more than 50 countries. Among his favorite cities in the world are Sydney, Delhi, and small town of Lewes, England – particularly on Nov. 5. He prefers to spend his spare time riding a bicycle and recalls fondly riding up the 21 switchbacks of Alpe D’Huez before settling in to watch the Tour de France riders tackle the famed climb.
The World on Wednesday lecture series is sponsored by the Center for Global Engagement and all lectures are approved as CC CLUE events. Please contact Winnie Brophy at winnie.brophy@csi.cuny.edu if you have any questions or you would like to present at a future lecture.
