Welcome
Allan E. Goodman
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Institute of International Education, I would like to welcome you to our 2016 Best Practices Conference and presentation of the IIE Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education.
The goals of these awards are to foster innovative ideas that will help international education professionals create and sustain new opportunities for students and faculty; to bring international education to the forefront of education policy; and to stimulate public
awareness of the benefits of international educational exchange. Please join us in congratulating the 2016 winners. You will hear from
them today, and we invite you to read more about their programs, and all the winning initiatives from 15 years of IIE Heiskell Awards,
at www.iie.org/internationalization. We know they will inspire you.
This year, IIE added a special award for Internationalizing the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), and the inaugural
winner, Tennessee State University, will talk about the impact of their new office of Diversity and International Affairs.
In the category of study abroad, our winners this year have been particularly successful in advancing the goal set out by IIE’s Generation Study Abroad: to double the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade, and diversify the study
abroad population. These programs are mobilizing resources and commitments to enable more U.S. students, especially those that are
typically underrepresented in U.S. study abroad, to participate in an international academic, internship, or service-learning experience.
If you have not yet joined Generation Study Abroad, we urge you to do so now, and join us in making sure that all students have an
opportunity to get the international experience that will be necessary to succeed in 21st century careers.
Opportunities like those offered by the Gilman International Scholarship Program and the Fulbright Program of the U.S. Department
of State, and the Boren Scholarships and Fellowships of the National Security Education Program further this vision and translate
into life-changing experiences for tomorrow’s leaders. IIE is honored to play a part in the success of these programs, as well as 200
other scholarship and training programs that served more than 40,000 students, educators and professionals from 175 countries in the
past year.
We would like to thank all the colleges and universities who have already joined Generation Study Abroad as commitment partners.
As we approach our Centennial in 2019, we would also like to thank all those who have played a role in IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund and
the work that IIE has done throughout its history to enable future leaders from all backgrounds and in all sectors to gain access to
world-class education.
Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to UC Davis for hosting this Conference, and to our sponsors: Chegg Enrollment Services, Education Division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, ELS Language Centers, Embassy of France in the United States
-Campus France USA, IELTS, Terra Dotta, and the University of Southern California, Global Ed.D Program, for their generous support.
Sincerely,
Allan E. Goodman
