Description: 

As we gather for 2016 AIEA conference, how might our institutions become more effective regional leaders and stewards for enhancing the quality of life and educational, economic and cultural development for our communities? In answering this question, the imperatives are clear: higher education institutions must consider and communicate the ways in which global forces shaped the communities in which they are located in the past, and are reshaping them in the present. They must understand and connect with the international linkages that increasingly connect these localities with others. And they must prepare all graduates, no matter their discipline or profession, to operate in a globalized world with skill, wisdom, and responsibility.

Please join us for the 2016 AIEA Annual Conference for senior international education leaders from around the world in Montreal, Quebec at the Palais des Congres de Montreal. The theme for this year's program will be Building a Better World: The Academy as Leader. We are planning a provocative, relevant, and rewarding annual conference and we look forward to your participation. Pre-conference workshops will take place February 21-22. See you in Montreal in February!
