GOOD NEWS
Friday, 05/16/2008
Every week we intend to share with you all of the good things that are happening to HDFS faculty members, students, alumni, and friends. Please do not be shy about sending us your GOOD NEWS:
This is it for the year! Congratulations, new MU graduates! Don’t forget to keep sharing your good news with us over the summer – see you in the Fall.
Travel News
A few months ago Marilyn Coleman sent an email to the graduate student listserve that included several international opportunities. One of these was to go to South Korea for a month this summer to teach English, set up through the MU Asian Affairs Center and the Government of South Korea. New Child Life graduate Sandy Bruner applied and was accepted. She leaves mid-July to teach 6th and 7th graders alongside a Korean teacher (who knows English). There are about 30 other MU grads going and they will be joined by the same number of grads from Oregon State. All expenses are paid plus a small stipend. Congratulations, Sandy! Have fun and learn a lot!
Sandy tells us that when she returns from Korea she will be looking for a "real" job in Child Life.

They are: The Starting Up or Expanding Early Childhood Centers in Missouri project, and contracts with state agencies DSS and DESE for the Professional Achievement and Recognition System (PARS).
