Since 1998 CIE has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with the Open Society Foundations (OSF) scholarship programs. Over the years this relationship has brought three different groups of scholars to study at CIE. Dr, Gretchen Rossman, pictured here with Larissa Chekmareva, one of the students from Kazakhstan, has acted as the liaison faculty member with OSF throughout this period. CIE looks forward to more OSF sponsored students in the future.
