ABOUT CIEE

• CIEE is the leading U.S. non-governmental
  international education organization. CIEE
  creates and administers programs that allow high
  school and university students and educators to
  study, volunteer, work and teach abroad.
• Into the chilly postwar world of 1947, CIEE
  launched the next generation of study abroad
  programs, the first since theyd been suspended
  during World War II. Senators and scholars
  worried about how to increase international
  understanding and establish trust between
  nations. As soon as there was enough capacity
  aboard trans-Atlantic ships to carry students,
  CIEE programs began teaching.
• Today, CIEE is composed of three interrelated but
  operationally independent entities based in
  Portland, Maine Boston, Massachusetts and
  Tokyo, Japan. Our membership continues to grow.
• Among many activities, CIEE administers 95 study
  abroad programs in over 33 host countries and
  teaching programs in Chile, China, Spain, and
  Thailand. Educators can participate in 26 summer
  seminars in 29 countries.
• Our 50 U.S. specialists, many of whom have
  studied or lived abroad can advise you how to
  choose a host country and program that fits you.
  We also have English-speaking staff members at
  all of our program sites overseas. They'll help
  with any problem academic, administrative or
  day-to-day and give you insider tips on the
  city and country.
• Who could argue? We need understanding and trust
  more than ever today. Gain that understanding,
  build that trust on a CIEE program.
