SOE Doctoral Student Chosen to Receive Korea Society Fellowship

Monica M. Eraqi, a student in the UM-Dearborn SOE doctoral program and National Board Certified Teacher of Social Studies at Dakota High School in Macomb Township, has been selected to receive a 2012 Summer Fellowship in Korean Studies from the Korea Society

 This competitive program is specifically designed for American social studies education professionals, including middle school and high school classroom teachers, administrators, and professors or instructors in schools of education.

Fellows participate in a 16-day, expenses-paid study tour of Korea during which they visit a foreign language high school, museums, and sites of historical and cultural interest. University faculty provide daily lectures on Korea history, culture, politics, economics, arts, and language. This is an unparalleled learning experience and unique opportunity for extensive travel and study within Korea.

Ms. Eraqi  is an avid seeker of global experiences to enrich her teaching.  This marks her fourth study tour, with previous visits to New Zealand, Spain, and Turkey. 

Please join me in congratulating Ms. Eraqi on being selected for this honor and in wishing her a rich learning experience during her time in Korea.
