Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to send you the Summer 2013 issue of International Higher Education. This issue features an in-depth perspective on key, and often ignored, issues of internationalization, as well as other themes.

The presentations given at our successful April 5 symposium on international higher education remain available on YouTube (see

http://www.youtube.com/bostoncollegecihe).

We are engaged in a third edition of our widely used book of global higher education centers and graduate programs offering degree study in higher education. We welcome your participation and comments in relation to this work. Please contact Laura Rumbley (rumbley@bc.edu) with any questions about this initiative or check out our online survey at http://cihe.wufoo.com/forms/a-worldwide-inventory/.

In other news, our work continues with the National Research University-Higher School of Economics in Moscow on a 10-country comparative study of the experiences of new faculty joining the ranks of the professoriate. We anticipate this work to culminate in a book to be published by SUNY Press in late 2013.

Cordially,

Philip G. Altbach, Director, CIHE
