Emory Broadens Scope of Global Outreach to Alumni, Business in Europe

In keeping with the goal to increase Emory's international outreach, the university's Division of Institutional Advancement is expanding its focus to include Europe. Soon after commencement in May of 2000, President Bill Chace will travel to Germany, France, the Netherlands and Poland to meet with alumni, university administrators and business people to continue strengthening institutional ties in those countries. Joining President Chace on the trip will be Provost Rebecca Chopp, Vice President for Institutional Advancement William Fox, and former Coca-Cola executive Claus Halle, for whom Emory's Halle Institute for Global Learning is named.

Glenn Kellum, associate vice president for international relations, says that Emory is focusing on areas of the world that have concentrations of alumni as well as areas where the university could boost both old and new academic ties. Previous trips have included Asia and Latin America. For more information contact Kellum at 404-727-8874, or gkellum@emory.edu.
