The CIC/New
York Times Partnership features activities for presidents
and students in 2006–2007.
Monday, October 9, 2006—CIC/NYT Partnership Presidents
Council Meeting. Participants will meet at the New
York Times offices in New York City at noon. The meeting will
include lunch and discussions with several higher education editors
and correspondents. The meeting will precede CIC’s Foundation
Conversation, scheduled for the next day, October 10, in New York.
Monday, February 26, 2007—Student News Editors Workshop
at the New York Times. This event is primarily
for students at institutions that are members of the CIC/NYT Partnership.
The 70-plus students who attended last year’s workshop met
with Times editors, reporters, copywriters, and marketers
and gave the event enthusiastic reviews.
If your institution is not a member of the Partnership, but you
would like the opportunity to send student editors to the workshop,
and participate in other Partner activities, there is still time
to join the Partnership. Please contact Laura Wilcox, CIC’s
vice president for communications at lwilcox@cic.nche.edu
