"Internationalization, From Kindergarten to Graduate School"

Michigan State University will host the Midwest Regional Meeting of CIES on campus 23-25 September 2005.As part of this meeting, we will be organizing a series of special sessions on Internationalization of teacher education and professional development to discuss work done here at MSU with interested colleagues from other colleges and universities. We invite others to organize sessions along the same lines. However, any of the topics which are typically presented at regional or national CIES meetings will be welcomed for presentation and discussion at this meeting (click on call for proposals for details).

We are also delighted that Professor Merry Merryfield of the Ohio State University will be our keynote speaker. She is one of the best-known authorities on internationalization of K-12 education.

We will also be entertained by the famous MSU College of Education rock band which for years has been a hit at the national AERA meetings. So bring your dancing shoes and join us for a unique blend of scholarship and pleasure amidst the beauties of fall on our park-like campus on the banks of the Red Cedar River in East Lansing.

Related meeting: The Midwest meeting of the Asian Studies Association will
also be held on the MSU campus the same weekend. This will enable scholars
with Asian interest to attend sessions at both meetings if they wish. For
