Faculty Development
A pillar of CIBE is to support faculty and collaborate with other educational institutions through faculty development programs in international business. Faculty development programs further strengthen international course offerings and infuse global content in business courses.
Smith CIBE supports both Smith and non-Smith faculty participation in FDIBs offered by Smith and other CIBEs as well as other faculty development initiatives. This opportunity broadens the reach faculty have in understanding global business, ultimately increasing U.S. competitiveness.
