Dr. Amy Camardese, assistant professor of education at Westminster College, recently attended the Center for International Education Exchange (CIEE) Faculty Development Seminar held in Brazil.

 "The seminar, 'Societal and Economic Perspectives,' began in Sao Paulo and continued to Salvador da Bahia and ended in Rio de Janeiro," Camardese said.  "I attended the seminar with fourteen faculty from colleges and universities around the country.  We learned about the cultural and social aspects of Brazil, with a special emphasis on racial issues."

 Camardese, who has been with Westminster College since 2001, earned her undergraduate degree from Ohio University, her master's from the University of Pittsburgh, and her Ph.D. from Kent State University.
