Dear Colleagues, just in case you did not know it: Janet did lobby for TRUE teaching values in Albany for us all semester. On campuis, I believe we need to internationalize the curriculum, as she suggested: Greening is one topic, but without international component, our students are simply not able to get the education for tomorrow we need. Janet and Paul (Conway) have for years argued for this, we need to make place for it in the next presidential agenda. Best Achim Jim, Your suggestion of a topic is great. Can you get some data about how many international students we have on campus? Can the list send in ideas about how we're already internationalizing the curriculum (for example, my classes consider music and art forms from around the world, as well as international business practices and intellectual property law). I suspect that many teachers include international issues in their classes. It would be interesting to hear about those curricula. Thanks Janet Dr. J.
