Stoneleigh-Burnham’s Brittany Weiss joins ILI’s Board

Brittany Weiss, Associate Director of International Admissions at Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA, has joined the all-volunteer board of directors for the International Language Institute of Massachusetts (ILI).

“We are very pleased to have Brittany as part of the ILI family,” said ILI board president Eric Wirth. “Her extensive academic and professional background around the world and here at home will go far in supporting our work, including high-quality language instruction and teacher training, free English classes for immigrants and refugees, and volunteer opportunities throughout the Pioneer Valley.”

Weiss has considerable experience abroad in Asia, Latin America, the United Kingdom, and western and central Europe. Prior to joining Stoneleigh-Burnham, she was Admissions Associate at the American International School of Budapest in Budapest, Hungary, where she worked with students and families from more than 60 nationalities. Earlier, she served as Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement at her alma mater, Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, MA, and as a resident faculty member at Emma Willard School in Troy, NY. She holds a BA in Spanish from Siena College and an MS in educational administration and policy studies from University at Albany.

“Through her chosen career, Brittany has developed a passion for collegial teamwork on the job,” said ILI Executive Director Caroline Gear. “Her skills and enthusiasm are a welcome addition to our board and much appreciated by staff.”

Students in ILI’s Intensive English Program visi Students in ILI’s Intensive English Program visited the Northampton Police station yesterday. Students asked Officer Lauren Bolduc questions about topics from animal control to traffic to violent crime to the job of a cop. The tour took us to every corner of the station from the detention center to the evidence room to Chief Jody D. Kasper in her office. Thanks NPD for an unforgettable experience. ⭐️

We had such an engaging afternoon at @parlorroommusic with ILI Board Member + former president of @gccgreenfield Bob Pura. Bob led a reading and discussion of his new book The Community’s College: The Pursuit of Democracy, Economic Development, and Success, which he co-wrote with Dr. Tara L. Parker. Audience members also got the chance to learn more about the process behind the creation of the book. 

Thank you for joining us! 📚

Today Bob Pura and Tara Parker read from and lead Today Bob Pura and Tara Parker read from and lead a discussion of their book The Community’s College: The Pursuit of Democracy, Economic Development, and Success! 📚 Join us at @parlorroommusic at 2pm. 

In their book, The Community’s College: The Pursuit of Democracy, Economic Development, and Success, co-authors Dr. Robert L. Pura and Dr. Tara L. Parker explore the extraordinary impact of this country’s community colleges on people, communities, and our democratic traditions.

As the book’s foreword by Lynn Pasquerella, President of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, states: "[T]he analysis offered by Dr. Pura and Dr. Parker unveils how community colleges—distinctively American institutions—are more essential than ever to fulfilling our nation's historic mission of educating for democracy."

Pura, a member of the ILI board of directors, retired in 2018 as president of Greenfield Community College after 17+ years in that position. Parker is the recently appointed Dean of the College of Education and Human Development at UMass Boston.
