Talk on Entrepreneurship in Education at Virginia Int'l University (Thurs, 11/7, 2pm)

[Rebecca Sachs]

Dear Educational Linguists,

The School of Education at Virginia International University invites you to join us for the November event in our Voices from the Field Speaker Series!

Zarko Palankov, President of the Global Language Network (http://thegln.org/), will be speaking on the topic of Entrepreneurship in Education.

Date: Thursday, November 7
Time: 2:00-3:00pm
Location: Waples Mill Conference Room at Virginia International University (11200 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030)


The Global Language Network a non-profit organization whose mission is "to provide opportunities to learn any language at a minimal cost." They are nearly entirely volunteer-run and offer affordable classes in more than 60 languages, serving thousands of language learners in the DC area.

This event is a great opportunity for anyone who might be interested in contributing to the development of an educational organization, getting involved in language program administration, or gaining perspective on the inner workings of such a program.

Among other topics, Zarko will be talking about how to...

*         establish a vision for your organization and make it a reality,

*         identify available resources as well as important feasibility considerations,

*         harness the strengths and enthusiasm of volunteers,

*         formulate a productive framework for professional development, and

*         learn from your experiences.


We hope you'll join us in Fairfax this Thursday at 2pm!
