TAICEP Research Programs
The TAICEP Research Program is pleased to announce that member Martha Van Devender has been selected to participate in AACRAO’s Cuba Project.
As part of our commitment to help members “conduct research and disseminate information that supports the profession”, Martha will represent TAICEP on a team of academic researchers as they embark on a year-long comparative international education project that will explore educational practices in Cuba.
Martha Van Devender has an educational background in cultural anthropology and library science with an archives concentration, which makes her oddly prepared for the research challenges she faces as a senior credential evaluator at Educational Credential Evaluators. She has been with ECE for over a decade now, after starting out as a temp worker in their filing department. She enjoys working with students from Latin America, Anglophone Africa, Indonesia, and anywhere that involves challenging credentials.
She is also very enthusiastic about online verification tools and loves to talk at length on the topic. Martha is a remote worker who lives in Utah with her husband, cats, and collection of evaluation resources that she liberated from the ECE office in Milwaukee. She is also an avid traveler who is nearing her goal of visiting all 50 US states. But she is willing to take time out from that endeavor to travel to Cuba, a place she has dreamed of visiting since taking an undergraduate course on the cultural anthropology of the island nation.
We congratulate Martha and look forward to the research results of the Cuba Project.
