Marketing

It isn’t enough to arrange a study abroad.  Students have to know something’s happening or they do not sign up. I’m fine with addressing classes, but publicity also involves the posting of flyers and yard signs; the construction Facebook pages and online websites.

He also worked extensively as an English teacher and program administrator in Asia before returning to ETSU for a graduate degree.
