The History of Global Education at JCC

Johnston Community College set off on its journey into global education in 2004 when a federal USAID grant formalized The East-West Community College Partnership, a relationship between Thailand’s Ministry of Education and several US community colleges and community college systems. The goal of the grant was to assist the fledgling Thai community colleges with their development. An essential part of this development was to offer training to the 18 new trustees at each college who would now be making decisions on their college’s direction, rather than the Thai government. Johnston Community College became the lead US institution on the trustee training project and in 2005, college president, Dr. Don Reichard and selected trustees visited Thailand to facilitate a training workshop.

As a result of JCC’s role in the training of trustees, a sister college relationship was formed with Ranong Community College in southern Thailand in 2006. Dr. Reichard and several others from the college and community college system office traveled to Ranong to provide further professional development opportunities. Since then, JCC has hosted two representatives from Ranong and has sent two more of its employees to Thailand. Pam Earp, Director of Basic Skills, and Debby Parnell, a Nursing Instructor, spent nearly 3 weeks traveling in Bangkok and southern Thailand in January 2008, and while based at Ranong Community College, assisted with ESL instruction and the development of the ESL Learning Lab and held an informational session on Ranong’s Older Adult Health Care program.

A portion of JCC’s Global Education budget is dedicated to the continuation of our relationship with Ranong Community College. At present, our goals include setting up an ESL (English as a Second Language) camp for the community of Ranong in May 2010 with JCC students and staff serving as instructors.

Since JCC’s sister college relationship with Ranong Community College was established several years ago, Global Education at JCC has expanded to include study abroad experiences, an annual International Festival and other extracurricular events, as well as the addition of international content in course curricula.
