Following three years of success, the International Academic Partnership Program (IAPP) will again select a group of U.S. higher education institutions to engage over the course of a year in strategic planning activities focused on implementing partnerships with higher education institutions in Brazil. Since 2009, IAPP has engaged more than 50 U.S. higher education institutions in comprehensive, yearlong programs aimed at increasing the number of partnerships between U.S. higher education institutions and their counterparts abroad. Past participants have increased their faculty exchanges, implemented institutional strategic plans, and expanded study abroad offerings within Brazil. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Clare Banks at cbanks@iie.org or visit www.iie.org/iapp.
