This year's forum promises to be very rewarding! Our keynote speaker will be Colonel Sue Ann Sandusky, Commandant of the Defense Language Institute and Installation Commander at the Presidio of Monterey.  Colonel Sandusky has served in Korea, Croatia, and Germany. She is also an Army Foreign Area Officer with a regional specialty for Sub-Saharan Africa and has served in Liberia.

In addition to Colonel Sandusky's presentation, this year's forum will also spotlight our efforts to expand Middle Eastern language and other course offerings, and our efforts to promote engaged global citizenship on the part of students from NCAGE member colleges.

Part of our forum discussion will involve our action plan for this summer. Expected outcomes include a Fulbright proposal for a summer study tour in Asia. David Schmidt is the main contact person; Joan Powers is the secondary contact.

Please remember that photo slides are needed as we consider the layout of the next iteration of the NCAGE brochure. If you have photos that would be appropriate and you would like considered to inclusion of the next brochure, please send them to cpowers@scu.edu.
 
I look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, May 2, for our annual forum.
 
Sincerely, Chuck Powers, Santa Clara University
