The folks at CAORC are excited to share that they are launching a new program: FLITE – Faculty Leadership for International Training and Exchange.

FLITE is a professional development certificate program offered by CAORC in partnership with College of the Canyons. It supports U.S. higher-education faculty and administrators in building the knowledge, networks, and strategies needed to internationalize their institutions through online coursework, mentorship, and a 10–12 day overseas seminar at an Overseas Research Center in the CAORC network.

The 10-week online component covers topics such as institutional partnerships, COIL programs, and student mobility. Participants then travel abroad for site visits, lectures, and presentations, culminating in a project presentation. The 2026 Overseas Faculty Development Seminar is scheduled for June 8–19 in Indonesia, hosted by the American Institute for Indonesian Studies, with activities in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and other locations in Java.

For details, including course fees, please visit the FLITE page on our website and register for an upcoming webinar. I’m also available for individual meetings or calls to answer any questions.
