Delegation visits Asia
This morning, the U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced the first-ever high profile delegation of U.S. college and university presidents to Japan, South Korea, and China. The delegation, to be led by Secretary Spellings and Assistant Secretary of State Dina Habib Powell, will visit the three countries to meet with students and university leaders, government and business leaders, and the media during International Education Week to take place November 10-18.
The delegation will be carrying a message that the U.S. welcomes and values international students who want to study in the U.S. It includes 18 college and university presidents, RPI President Shirley Ann Jackson among them. The pairing of U.S. government and higher education leaders follows from a commitment made at the U.S. University Presidents Summit on International Education in January. | |
