Whitfield Selected for IEA Fulbright Seminar

Meredith College Director of Admissions Justine Whitfield has been selected for an International Education Administrators (IEA) Fulbright Seminar in Germany this fall.

Whitfield, who joined the Meredith Admissions team in August, is looking forward to taking Meredith’s “Going Strong” message abroad.

“I am proud to represent Meredith College in Germany and leverage new opportunities to enhance international student recruiting, explore collaborative international learning opportunities, and discover additional summer and short-term study abroad opportunities for our students,” Whitfield said.

Fulbright describes the IEA Germany program as being “designed to familiarize U.S. higher education administrators from universities, colleges, and community colleges in the U.S. with the latest trends in Germany’s higher education system.”

The program will include lectures, workshops, and campus visits in Berlin and other regions of Germany. Participants will explore opportunities for academic exchanges and learn about higher education mobility trends in the broader European context.

Whitfield’s participation in this program will support Meredith’s strong history in international education. 

“I am beyond inspired by the work in the Office of International Programs to both support international students on campus and prepare all Meredith students for a life-changing study abroad experience,” Whitfield said. “Meredith truly cares about ensuring the entire community benefits from exposure to international experiences, with their hallmark Italian Getaway program for faculty and staff and ever-changing opportunities for students.”
