Dear Pathways Students,
It was a great experience yesterday to conduct the interviews and get to know you a little better. As you know, we are asking you to each create a Blog and keep your written work there. Please reply to this message with the address of your blog so that we can find it. Remember, you already have your first writing assignment to place there in the Language in the Classroom course. Good luck!

Welcome to EWU!

To All of you in the Pathways: Leaders in Education 2009 Summer Institute at EWU, WELCOME! We are glad you are here. We look forward to a wonderful five weeks getting to know you and taking part in many wonderful conversations as we discover some of the key ways that educational systems differ around the world. I believe that we will all leave this experience as much better educators and leaders in our fields. May you enjoy your time on Eastern Washington University's campus and in the Spokane area. There is much to see and do here.

So, once again, welcome.

Best wishes,
Gina Petrie
