CEPS Students and Alumni-
Some fantastic speakers coming to campus in the next few weeks, including Kate Rousmaniere [A.5.] and Gloria Ladson Billings [A.4.] who will also lead a workshop for interested students [A.3]. Info below on the topic and how to sign up. Next week we also welcome a candidate interviewing for a faculty position in International Higher Education at Loyola. Please do your best to come to the research presentation and meeting with students [A.2.] as it is very important that job candidates both meet our students and that we get feedback from students on the candidates we bring to campus. Lastly, we are pleased to announce that CEPS and Loyola’s Higher Education programs are becoming an “Affinity Group” within the SOE. While each program remains independent and distinct, being formally joined as an Affinity Group brings additional opportunities for mutual collaboration and enhancement [see A.1. below]. If you learn of events or opportunities that can be shared via this newsletter please email them to my graduate assistant David Boven at dboven@luc.edu.

A. CEPS NEWS
————————————————————-
A.1. As of the 2014 Spring semester Loyola’s CEPS and Higher Education programs will be working together as a new “Affinity Group” within the School of Education. For several years now, faculty in CEPS and Higher Education have worked closely together on a number of projects, perhaps most notably the joint launching of a new MEd in International Higher Education, the third cohort of which will be starting in Fall 2014. Already CEPS and Higher Ed students frequently take courses in each other’s areas and we see a welcome overlap in the conferences and professional, scholarly worlds inhabited by students and faculty in each program. Both the CEPS and Higher Ed programs will remain distinct, individual programs with no changes for students in terms of requirements, faculty availability and so forth. However now that both programs also additionally make up a new Affinity Grouping we see great potential for joint projects and initiatives.
A.2. On Wednesday January 29th we are pleased to be welcoming to campus a candidate for the IHE faculty position. As was previously announced by email, there will be a research presentation 10:15-11:15am in LT1030 and then from 11:15-12:00 the candidate will be meeting with students. Please join! It is a great opportunity to see a piece of the academic hiring process and also to have a voice in the selection of future faculty members.
A.3. In addition to the Wozniak Lecture that Gloria Ladson Billings will be giving on Thursday, February 13 (see below), she will be presenting a workshop for students from 2:00-3:15pm.

Her research interests center on the history and politics of American teachers and methodological questions in the social history of education. She will be speaking at Loyola’s Water Tower Campus (Room CLC 105) on Monday, February 17, 2014 from 6:00-7:00 pm.
