Due: Februray 1, 2010

Participate in a group seminar on German higher education and society designed for U.S. university, college and community college administrators whose current responsibilities have a direct relation to international exchanges, career services, alumni affairs or development and fundraising in higher education. The program includes briefings, selected government appointments, campus visits and cultural events. The itinerary includes meetings in Berlin and other cities in eastern and western Germany. The program consists of two parts: a general introduction to Germany and its system of higher education, which takes place in Berlin, and a program portion in which participants split up in small subgroups enabling them to focus on their individual professional interests as they relate to the seminar.

Applicants should have significant involvement with one of the following areas: (1) international exchanges (student or faculty exchanges, foreign student admissions and advising, study abroad programs, and international education exchange services; administrators who have substantial responsibility for enhancing the international dimension of their institutions and for international program development are also encouraged to participate), (2) career services, (3) alumni affairs, and (4) development and fundraising.
