Follow the Yellow BRIC Road: Building Global Citizens This session demonstrates a learning solution that aims to prepare global talent with both knowledge of BRIC countries and the international competencies required for success in the global marketplace by previewing four of the hottest emerging countries. Continuing Education Programming for Alumni Academe Makes for Strange Bedfellows: How Continuing Education and Schools of Management Collide and Cooperate Much of Continuing Education typically involves management education, particularly undergraduate and graduate degrees in business fields. Business schools at their institutions are often concerned for many valid reasons, from the perspective of AACSB accreditation, public image, and internal competition. But in challenging economic times, solutions are essential to attract enrollments and offer degree opportunities to students. This session will look at this very prevalent, sensitive, and even explosive issue from both sides and explore different models for how to collaborate, optimize mutual self-interest, and provide the greatest array of management programs for working adults. Creating a University Presence in the Community and an Awareness of Community within the Academy Increasingly, colleges and universities are seeking to connect with communities through "engagement.” What higher education institutions would like to develop are two-way relationships in place of the more traditional one-directional outreach approach. Establishing and maintaining such relationships poses challenges for both academic institutions and communities. This session will explore Penn State's effort to creatively address these challenges through innovative uses of a web portal. 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. The Price of the Banquet is included with your registration fee. For guest tickets only, there is a separate fee. For more information: contact Natalia Kats, UCEA Director of Conferences, at nkats@upcea.edu or 202.659.3130. |
