Janis Halpern has brought the Academic Programs Abroad Office at Indiana State University from its beginning stages in the early 1990s to where is today--sending over 100 students abroad who chose from over 100 sites in more than 30 countries.
Janis holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Boston University in Spanish language and literature. She has studied abroad herself in Spain, Israel, and Mexico.
Janis is a member of the National Organization of International Educators (NAFSA). She has been actively engaged in the Consortia to which Indiana State University belongs, having served as Chair of the Midwest Consortia for Study Abroad (MCSA), and Chair of the Council of Advisors for the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) from 2004-2006.
In order to provide both students and parents with first-hand information about Indiana State University programs abroad, Janis is in contact with on-site directors, and has visited students abroad to evaluate the most popular study abroad sites in England, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands, Greece, Costa Rica, Argentina and the Czech Republic.
