Debbie Rabina  Presented IPP at The annual conference of ALISE (Association of Library and Information Science Educators) held this January in Seattle, had as its theme Habits of Mind and Practice: Preparing Reflective Professionals. The International Education SIG presented a panel of five speakers that spoke about Optimizing Teaching Experiences Abroad.

The panel was well attended and the audience had an opportunity to hear, most for the first time, about IPP and the type of people IPP seems to attract, many young people with academic credentials that are choosing an alternative to the traditional academic track route. Other panelists included someone from Fulbright, and three individuals that told their personal story of teaching abroad in Indonesia, American Samoa, and India.
