GLOBAL BRANDEIS
May 2009

Dear friends and colleagues,
In an effort to get a better sense of our overseas connections, the Office of Global Affairs has created a very short (5 question) form asking faculty and staff about travel plans for this summer and next academic year. While we realize international travel will be limited, it also presents an opportunity -- for those who are willing -- to maximize these trips from a university-wide perspective. The questionnaire link is available at:

http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2i0yyabft7n4cyp/start

I know this is a busy time, so I'd very much appreciate any effort you can make to complete this questionnaire.

In part, this is also an effort to get a new brochure, "Global Brandeis," into the hands of faculty and staff when they travel abroad. This new publication highlights our collective international dimensions, and is a good broad introduction piece to give to colleagues overseas.

Thanks and have a great summer,

Bryan McAllister-Grande
