3 Welcome Allan E. Goodman Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Institute of International Education, I would like to welcome you to our 2015 Best Practices Conference and presentation of the IIE Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education. The goals of these awards are to foster innovative ideas that will help international education professionals create and sustain new opportunities for students and faculty; to bring international education to the forefront of education policy; and to stimulate public awareness of the benefits of international educational exchange. You will hear from the 2015 winners today, and we invite you to read more about their excellent work and that of all of the winners from the past 14 years at We hope they will inspire you. Last March, IIE launched Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative that brings leaders in education, business and governments together to take specific, measureable actions that will help reach the ambitious goal of doubling the number of U.S. college students studying abroad. Nearly 500 partners joined in the first year, including more than 300 colleges and universities, 70 study abroad, K-12 education and social network organizations, 14 governments, and 17 education associations in 48 states and 32 countries. This is great news, but it is simply not enough. The new Open Doors data released in November showed an increase of only 2% in the number of students who studied abroad. We must do more to make sure that all students have an opportunity to get the international experience that will be necessary to succeed in 21st century careers. If you have not yet joined Generation Study Abroad, we urge you to do so now. We encourage everyone here today to take significant action to make it possible for more students from more diverse backgrounds to gain international experience through academic study abroad programs, teaching and conducting research abroad, as well as through internships, service learning and non-credit educational experiences. Opportunities like those offered by the Gilman International Scholarship Program and the Fulbright Program of the U.S. Department of State, and the Boren Scholarships and Fellowships of the National Security Education Program further this vision and translate into life-changing experiences for tomorrow s leaders. IIE is honored to play a part in the success of these programs, as well as 200 other scholarship and training programs that served more than 36,000 students, educators and professionals from 156 countries in the past year. We would like to thank all the colleges and universities who have already joined Generation Study Abroad as commitment partners. As we approach our Centennial in 2019, we would also like to thank all those who have played a role in IIE s Scholar Rescue Fund and 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. Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to the strategic event sponsor, University of Southern California Rossier School of Education, and other sponsors: American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS), Chegg Enrollment Services, Education Division - Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, Educational Testing Service (ETS-TOEFL), ELS Language Centers, French Embassy in the United States-Higher Education-Campus France USA, and Terra Dotta for their generous support.
