Washington, D.C. – Three leading journalists with long experience in business journalism will join the international faculty of China’s first Global Business Journalism Program at Beijing’s Tsinghua University. They include Robert J. Dowling, former managing editor of BusinessWeek International; Ann M. Morrison, former editor of Time Europe; and Nailene Chou Wiest, who was a Knight International Journalism Fellow in China and had worked for Reuters there.

The American Councils for International Education is looking for interested families to host foreign exchange students in the U.S. for the 2007-08 school year. Funded by the US State Department to encourage learning and understanding between the Americans and the people from former Soviet Union, Serbia and Montenegro and Afghanistan, these programs bring hundreds of bright students to study in high schools in the U.S. The students have a very high proficiency in English, are eager to learn about American Culture and have undergone a very competitive process to earn the right to represent their countries in the U.S. For details, view the program flyer or visit www.inboundphotos.com/acinbound |

Please consider giving to the Kibrik Bergelson Study in Russia Scholarship http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/scholarships/kibrik_study_in_russia.cfm this year through the UAA Family Campaign. The Chancellor's office will match your contributions up to a certain point, so it's a great way to get the most opportunity for our students through our personal contributions. The scholarship was created by Jim Bowers, a local engineer, who had a wonderful time visiting Russian colleagues in Moscow. He wants to share the same opportunity with UAA students. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply for this scholarship. This year Chris Helkenn, a Business and Russian major, received a scholarship through this fund. Chris is studying at Moscow State University. Again, please consider donating to the scholarship to help UAA students get to Russia for study abroad. |

Please see briefing by Greg Wolfe, Director of the World Trade Center - Alaska, on the role of International Trade in Alaska’s economy. I think it helps makes a strong case that International education is becoming a workforce issue. Alaska needs a growing number of fishermen, businessmen, engineers and hospitality industry managers and employees who can adapt to the cultural diversity of their growing international markets and customers. |
