SEEC, Inc.
In 1997, Marsha founded Student Extended Experiences Consulting, Inc., an organization, which helps students design the scope and sequence of their GAP year, explore college sabbaticals or seek meaningful study abroad/internship experiences. These opportunities can take students down different paths, but always paths of choice. It’s in the process of exploring oneself that a young person can grow, think differently, and define a meaningful academic path with purposeful career goals.

Experienced Counseling With Marsha RayMarsha Ray has been an educator for more than 4 decades. Her professional life first began in the U.S. in secondary schools. After a move to Paris, France, she taught at the American School of Paris and later at Liceo Scientifico di Tradate, near Milan, Italy. Upon returning to the States in l990, Marsha became a full time adjunct English professor at DePaul University, Chicago, where she also was co-director of the University’s International Studies Office.
She is fluent in Italian and French and believes her 17 years in Europe and her positions at DePaul, speak well of her ability to bring an informed and unique voice to her role as both a gap year advisor and as an educational counselor. |

A Message To The Editors:
We educators are participating in a time of an educational paradigm shift, promoting global citizenry by encouraging students to be receptive, sensitive, aware, and pluralistic. Our own growing professional awareness of college curriculum integration, cross-disciplinary majors, peace and justice studies suggests that even greater changes will occur for our students and that these changes will be commensurate with the global shifts underway. Our job is to help our students prepare for their world as it will be, not just as it has been, because a position of stasis is a position of denial, and as educators we are all interested in sharing how best to open intellectual, experiential, and extra-ordinary doors for those who stand at this threshold. The opportunities of the GAP year are obviously important learning tools for students on the rode to becoming, in the words of philosopher Ken Wilber, worldcentric.
