Eastwood Global Consulting is led by Head Strategist, Dr. Stephen Ferst who has over 25 years experience in international education. He has created over 50 programs world-wide in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and throughout Africa. He is a sought after speaker and trainer at national and international conferences. He has also authored many articles and papers for the field.
As a 2004 winner of the Lily von Klemperer Award he was recognized nationally for his contributions to the field. This award seeks to recognize those who have "brought other [education abroad professionals] along" in the field and who maintain the highest standards of professional ethics while sharing their skills, knowledge, and expertise with all colleagues.
Dr. Ferst was also given the 2008 Advocate of the Year award by his NAFSA colleagues. At the presentation, President Ron Moffatt "...recognized the work Ferst has done on
drafting a state-level international education resolution for the state of New
Jersey as well as his work in training other NAFSA members to be effective
grassroots advocates in various conference sessions and during the annual
Advocacy Day. Moffatt told Ferst that these grassroots advocacy efforts have
truly distinguished him as a role model for his colleagues."
