A new $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education will fund Smith’s Center for International Business Education and Research through 2018.
The four-year award will support global enrichment opportunities for students and faculty, including continuation of the center’s annual Emerging Markets Forum. New initiatives include the launch of developmental seminars for regional businesses in 2015.
“We have easy access to many global resources in Washington, D.C.,” says Smith Professor Kislaya Prasad, academic director of CIBER. “We will help the business community tap into these resources and develop an outward perspective toward the world.”
Smith received previous CIBER grants in 2006 and 2010. Other CIBER campuses in the Big Ten include Indiana, Michigan State and Ohio State universities. /DJ/
