FACULTY DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS 2019: MENA

(Israel, Jordan, Morocco) 

 

December 30, 2018 - January 13, 2019

The Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) - MENA program is offered annually by a consortium of CIBER universities. This program, funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education and lead-managed by the CIBERs of Brigham Young University and The George Washington University, focuses on providing participating faculty a unique international study tour opportunity, which will ultimately assist the United States in its international competitiveness via pedagogy, research, and business outreach. The objective of the FDIB-MENA program is to raise faculty awareness of the economic, political and cultural environments that exist in the Middle East and Africa today, and, ultimately, to leverage that first-hand awareness into competence and expertise in classrooms and on research campuses throughout the United States.
