Today s conference features presentations by university presidents, provosts, deans, and government officials, who are joining us to share their strategies and achievements as we recognize the recipients of this year s Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education. We extend our deepest thanks to Educational Testing Service (ETS), our gold level sponsor, and to the Partner University Fund (PUF) and the Spanish Ministry of Education for their generous support for today s conference. We are grateful to these sponsors in particular, and to our college and university partners for the important role they have played in the work that IIE has done throughout its history to enable future leaders from all backgrounds and in all sectors to gain access to world-class education and embrace a spirit of service to their communities. We would also like to thank our keynote speakers, Ms. Stéphane Rosenberg, Counselor for Cultural Affairs at the Embassy of Haiti, and Ms. Alina Romanowski, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Academic Programs in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. We hope that you will be inspired by all of the presentations during today s conference as well as by the 2010 Andrew Heiskell Award winning programs, and that you will join in the goal of extending the impact of this important work in the months and years ahead. The work that the Institute does, together with our campus partners, to develop global leaders, internationalize higher education, and rescue threatened scholars encourages peace, prosperity, and scientific progress around the world. The programs we adaminister on behalf of public and private sponsors encourage civic engagement and mutual understanding. The renowned Fulbright Program, which IIE has the honor to administer on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, remains one of the most effective and responsive components of U.S. public diplomacy, and we are deeply grateful for the role that our academic and community partners play in making this program so successful. Opportunities like those offered by the Fulbright Program, Boren Scholarships and Fellowships, the Gilman International Scholarship Program, and the Scholar Rescue Fund translate into life-changing experiences for tomorrow s leaders. More than anything else, their stories inspire us with the impact investments in international education can have: the African woman who pursues computer training and gains a better life for her whole family; the Iraqi scholar who saw five of his closest colleagues killed and now, safe in Jordon, continues their research; the American undergraduate, the first in her family to attend college, who studies in China and inspires others to do the same; the Chilean Aymara Indian who gains an M.A. in environmental management and wins election as deputy mayor, helping her to improve the lives of an entire village. Thank you for helping to make these and so many other success stories possible. Sincerely, Allan E. Goodman President and Chief Executive Officer Institute of International Education
