"CIBER programs provide a very useful platform for discussing the pressing issues of today's business environment and also allow for expanding our understanding of political, cultural and historic aspects. We must strive to pass on to the next generation the best of our thinking and experiences to enable them to build a fairer world for themselves, for emerging nations and the underprivileged. The current tensions in the world are clear evidence of the fact that we leave them with an unfinished job and we owe them all the support that we can give."

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
