My visit to the George Mason University-Ras Al Khaimah Campus in the UAE
GMU-RAK Internship (10/07-12/07):
George Mason University (GMU), in a collaborative effort with the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) government, began building an American university in the United Arab Emirates in 2005. This is where I'll spend 2 months helping to build the university and begin my own research.
I am in my second year as a graduate student studying higher education policy and leadership at George Mason University in the Graduate Schoool of Education. I began in 1/06 and plan to complete this PhD program in 12/08. Spending a couple of months in the UAE fulfills the internship requirement in my course of study. And...it's just damn cool!
