The American Council on Education has named 19 prominent leaders in education and international affairs to a blue-ribbon panel to explore issues related to universities’ global engagement. The commission will be led by John E. Sexton, president of New York University and chair of the council’s Board of Directors, and includes higher-education leaders from the United States and overseas. The group is expected to meet throughout the 2010-11 academic year and to make final recommendations on the council’s approach to global issues next fall.

A worthy endeavor indeed. One sees multiple issues within this broad topic. Within our new global context, there is a range of issues, from what ACE might do, to what individual institutions might do, to what individual student experiences might be (in the content of curriculum, mobility, and campus activities) to help prepare him/her for a life of cross-border encounters. It may also be helpful to include a wider constituency of nonprofit and business leaders to gain additional perspective. Naomi F. Collins, Ph.D.
