CIBER Success Stories

International Business Institute for Community College Faculty

I attended both the 4th (2001) and 5th (2003) Biennial International Business Institute for Community College Faculty conferences and am eagerly looking forward with great intellectual hunger for the 6th, which is to be held May 14-19, 2005. There is no finer conference for community college faculty concerned with globalizing their curriculums anywhere in the country.

Attendance at my first conference helped me to organize and develop my International Business Associate Degree curriculum at Forsyth Technical Community College in North Carolina. But it was the second conference I attended which instilled in me the determination to make my program the best in the country! Thanks to the inspiration and support I've gotten from MSU-CIBER and the conferees, I now have my curriculum in high gear, with seven international business classes both online and in the classroom in a high-quality, interactive format. In fact, except for the foreign language requirement, the entire degree is available online. I thank my students, the local global trade industry, and the entire conference team and its sponsors for making this highly exceptional program both affordable and worthwhile.

If anyone would like to speak to me about this conference, please feel free to call or email me (MSU-CIBER has my contact information). This conference is a MUST for serious community college educators of international business.
