Armstrong speaks fluent Spanish, is a qualified administrator for the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), and has been an adjunct instructor for Cultural Competence and Global Business Environment courses.
The Miami University Director of Education Abroad provides overall institutional leadership for the administration and management of study abroad, study away, and related travel programs. The Director collaborates to coordinate critical support and direction related to study abroad and study away programs, across all institutional and academic divisions.
“We are looking forward to welcoming Lee into Global Initiatives,” said Cheryl Young, Associate Vice President for Global Initiatives. “She comes to us with a strong background in education abroad and will work toward an innovative strategy that aligns with Miami THRIVE, builds on our robust faculty engagement, addresses global challenges, and creates high-quality, meaningful experiences for our students.”
A graduate of Miami University and an alumna of the Miami University Dolibois European Center (MUDEC), Armstrong is looking forward to returning to Oxford and Miami University.
