Welcome Summer Intern Erica!

Meet our summer intern! Erica Stieper is a rising senior at Virginia Tech, majoring in International Studies and minoring in Spanish. In 2018, she will complete a Masters Degree in Political Science. This summer, Erica will be working to inform our Facebook followers about global affairs and New Hampshire’s involvement at the international level. She will also research unique and inspirational professionals for the speaker series this fall. 

Erica is devoted to world affairs and has previously been involved with the International Relations Organization at Virginia Tech, debating at a Mock Arab League Conference in Washington D.C., and spending time discussing global issues with her colleagues. Erica contributed to the social media advertising for Relay For Life at Virginia Tech, which qualifies her to navigate the WACNH’s Facebook page. She enjoys discovering, reading and sharing diverse news articles with Facebook followers in hopes that they will continue to make people aware of current global issues as well as the colorful cultural diversity of the world.

Cultural diversity is another passion of Erica’s. For the past four months, she has immersed herself in the Spanish culture, attending the University of Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain. Erica fell in love with the Spanish lifestyle, gastronomy, language, and people. When she was not in class, she spent her time playing soccer with locals by the Rio Tormes, trying new cuisine at restaurants around town, and exploring the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral and the Monastery. Erica took full advantage of her study abroad experience by visiting eight different countries and using her time to understand the multitude of lifestyles that exist in Europe.

In addition to interning at WACNH this summer, Erica will also be working in Wells, Maine at the Scoop Deck ice cream shop. While in Maine, she enjoys spending her days running, hiking, or relaxing on the beach and, scooping ice cream with her friends at night.

WACNH welcomes Open World delegation from Kyrgyzstan

From May 19 – 25, a group of five legislators from the National Parliament of Kyrgyzstan will visit New Hampshire through the Open World Leadership Program at the Library of Congress. This six day visit will provide them with an in-depth view into New Hampshire politics and government.  Meetings are being arranged with top government officials to exchange ideas on legislation, procurement, elections, campaigns, and other topics. They will also have the opportunity to meet with several candidates for different elected positions. 

Another great component of their trip is a home stay with a local family. 4 local families have graciously opened their homes to these Members of Parliament to better show them everyday New Hampshire life. They share meals together, exchange ideas, and provide insights into each others’ cultures; truly a learning experience for everyone involved. When they return home after the trip, the group will have the opportunity to share what they learned with the other Members of Parliament and their constituents. This program will foster better relations between our countries and provide valuable professional development for the delegation.

Meet these emerging leaders at a special reception on Thursday, May 19 at 6:30 PM at our office!

This past year, Peter Schmidt, WACNH’s Vice President and Education Committee Chair and Spanish teacher at Pinkerton Academy, was awarded a fellowship in Global Education with the U.S. Department of State.

The TGC is a specialized training program for K-12 teachers in the study, practice, and theory of Global Education. The year-long fellowship program include an overseas teaching assignment location. Pete was chosen to join the Brazilian delegation last summer.

The website is full of resources, lesson plan ideas, publications, program and project development, global technology implementation, travel blogs, and more.  Click here to read more about his trip.
