Global Brandeis Network        January 14 - 21, 2008

Dear Brandeis Community,

Welcome to the revamped weekly email, which includes new ways to access and communicate all things "international" at Brandeis. Combined with the launch of the global web portal, we hope the overall network improves collaboration among the various individuals, groups, offices and departments conducting international activities at Brandeis.

As always, your comments and thoughts (oga@brandeis.edu) are much appreciated.

Dan Terris
Associate Vice President for Global Affairs
