2010 Biennial Advanced Int'l Business Institute for Community College Faculty

Testimonials

I wanted to write to thank you again for the excellent program at the Advanced IBI. You both put great effort into, not only the planning, but also the execution, and it showed. The sessions were remarkable for their lack of overlap and yet they were complementary throughout. The breakout sessions were also well done. A number of us had quite a bit of time to kill Thursday afternoon at the Lansing Airport and we continued to talk about ideas generated by the conference. I know that a number of us will stay in touch and continue the interaction you began. I've let both the UT and Texas A&M CIBERS know how pleased I was with the opportunity they helped provide me. Jerry Mitchell - Austin Community College

Thanks again for developing the AIBI seminar! I firmly believe that if you evolve it into a "blue print seminar" to build and maintain community college IB programs, you will be sold out every time. I know I sound like a broken record, however, you have the only research that can become the "change agent" to get community colleges in the U.S. and other countries to develop and maintain an IB program. You guys could go on the road and become quite notable! Peter Shaw - Professor of Business & Economics, Tidewater Community College

The best part of the conference was the variety/balance between lecture, small groups and networking.

The five pillars of International Business Education provided me with a structure to evaluate our own program.

Everything has been very helpful so far, I've been teaching in this area for 21 years and I've seen almost everything educational conferences have to offer but this conference has offered not only a variety of new resources, but also new perspectives on old discussions.

Overall, nobody has wasted my time and the fact that the participants have time to visit with each other rather than having all the time scheduled is more valuable than they (MSU CIBER) will ever know.

Well run, good topics and I appreciated the resources Michigan State University has offered.

The focus on the networking has been extremely helpful. I appreciate they incorporate the networking time in there and its not just presentation after presentation.

The ideas that I've been able to take back and the partnership possibilities that I have made around the country has been my favorite part of the conference.

The material was definitely informative. I liked the presenters. Everything they had to share was very useful for me.
