“The Campus and the Globe: Building Resources to Internationalize Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship” is the theme of CIC’s 18th annual Conversation Between Foundation Officers and College and University Presidents. It will take place on Tuesday, October 10, 2006, at the TIAA-CREF Wharton Auditorium in New York City, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 2:00 p.m.

The goal of this presidents-only meeting is to help presidents understand the considerations that inform how foundations frame programs and review proposals. Three sessions of 60–90 minutes each will be interspersed with long breaks when participants can continue the discussions informally. The session topics will be:

• Focus on Students—Guiding Them Toward Global Citizenship
• Focus on Faculty—Grant Support to Enrich the Global Dimension of Teaching and Scholarship
• Focus on Academic Programs—Opportunities for International Education with Asian and European Partners

Jonathan F. Fanton, president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, will give the opening presentation. Other experts who have agreed to speak include Terrill (Terry) Lautz, vice president and secretary of the Henry Luce Foundation; Pauline Yu, president of the American Council of Learned Societies; Ulrich Grothus, director of the German Academic Exchange Service New York; and Mary Ellen Lane, executive director
of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers. More information and registration materials are available here or by contacting Frederik Ohles at fohles@cic.nche.edu.
