SIIC Fellows Program, July 4-21, 2012

The SIIC Fellows Program offers an opportunity to explore the field of intercultural communication, to assess career direction, to commit to a personal intercultural practice, and to learn about intercultural team development by working directly with other fellows, SIIC staff, and faculty. This is one of two SIIC programs with a formal selection procedure. Our fellows typically range in age from 25 to 70 and come from dozens of different cultures and professions. Approximately 30 fellows will be chosen for 2012. Criteria for selection are:

• Some knowledge of the intercultural field
  
• Professional experience or at least graduate student status
  
• Commitment to a career in the fields related to intercultural relations
  
• Enthusiasm for working in a support/service capacity, while also learning at the Institute

During the Fellows Session preceding SIIC, fellows receive professional development in multicultural team processes based on the practice of Personal Leadership. There is a strong emphasis on collaborative learning, and a rare opportunity for diverse individuals with a common interest to explore the role of intercultural communication in their lives.

During Sessions I and II, fellows participate in workshops while also providing logistic and other assistance to the workshop faculty. In Session II, they have the opportunity to discuss design and group process issues with the faculty. In addition, Fellows support SIIC in a variety of roles from setup and hosting, to assisting participants in the library and bookstore.

Financially, the SIIC Fellows Program represents a significant tuition discount. Fellows pay reduced tuition, room, and board for the first week of the Fellows Program, which includes the multicultural team training with the fellows faculty, as well as for Sessions I and II. The fellows program is a combination of a mentoring program and a chance to get a different and more extensive behind-the-scenes Institute experience.

The total cost for fellows (tuition and room and board for the whole fellows program) was $2700 in 2011. Fellows should arrive no later than 6:00 p.m. Wednesday evening, July 4, and depart no sooner than Saturday afternoon, July 21. Application forms and the total cost for 2012 will be available from ICI early in the year.

Fellows Program Faculty: Gordon Watanabe

Dr. Gordon C. Watanabe, a founding partner of Personal Leadership Seminars, consults in corporate, educational, and other organizational settings (most recently the Esalen Institute) on Personal Leadership, diversity, and intercultural competence. He is Professor Emeritus and former special assistant to the president for intercultural relations at Whitworth University where he focused on the role of deep self-understanding in successful cross-cultural negotiations and intercultural team building. Gordon was initiated as a meditation teacher in 2000, and now also offers energy meditation seminars. He has taught middle school biology and teacher education, and advised and counseled university-level international, study abroad, and minority students.

Returning Fellows Program Faculty: Sherwood Smith

Dr. Sherwood Smith has traveled from New Jersey, where he was raised, to Antarctica, Asia, East Africa, and the Americas. He was the director of the Kenya College Semester Program at the School of International Training before coming to the University of Vermont, where he is the director of the Center for Cultural Pluralism. His work at UVM involves faculty and staff professional development on issues of culture and social justice. He also teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in educational foundations and human development. Most recently he co-edited a two-part series, Our Stories I & II: The Experience of Black Professionals on Predominantly White Campuses.

New Interculturalists' Program, July 8-15, 2012

Designed for those interested in a glimpse of SIIC behind the scenes, the New Interculturalists Program begins just before Session I, and offers an Institute immersion experience, an introduction to the field of intercultural relations, and an exploration of professional opportunities. All New Interculturalists will also attend a three-day workshop and a one-day Sample of SIIC class, where they will work closely with faculty in a support capacity. This is an opportunity to not only see behind the scenes but also be behind the scenes at SIIC and gain considerable insight into what drives the field and those who are actively engaged in it.

Ideal candidates for this program are recent college graduates interested in testing whether intercultural work is right for them, those considering intercultural graduate school, or professionals shifting from another field into intercultural careers.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Learn how to become more deeply engaged in intercultural training, research, and education
  
• Examine career options for using intercultural knowledge and skills
  
• Review core concepts in intercultural relations, including the history of the field
  
• Be a part of the team that implements the Summer Institute

Through a mixture of discussion, presentation, exercises, and service to SIIC, New Interculturalists will experience both the theory and practice of intercultural relations. This is one of two SIIC programs with a formal selection procedure, and enrollment is limited so participants can receive more personal attention.

The total cost for the New Interculturalists Program (tuition and room and board for the session) was $1450 for 2011. New Interculturalists should arrive no later than 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening, July 8, and depart no sooner than Sunday morning, July 15. Application forms and the total cost for 2012 will be available from ICI early in the year.
