3rd AMPEI/AIEA Dialogue of the Americas
Oct 31 - Nov 1 in San Luis Potosí, Mexico

Hosted by AIEA, the Asociación Mexicana para la Educación Internacional (AMPEI), and the Consortium for North American Higher Education Cooperation (CONAHEC), Dialogue of the Americas is a retreat of senior international officers modeled on the highly successful AIEA Ghost Ranch Seminars and the AIEA-EAIE Transatlantic Dialogues. This Dialogue of the Americas brings together international educators from the Western Hemisphere to discuss common issues and challenges in international education and cooperation in the Americas. The Dialogue takes place at the Hotel Westin San Luis Potosí: www.westinslp.com.mx.

Conveners:

Francisco Marmolejo, Assistant Vice President for Western Hemispheric Programs at the University of Arizona and Executive Director of CONAHEC, fmarmole@email.arizona.edu
Andrew R. Gillespie, Associate Provost, International Programs at Auburn University, arg0014@auburn.edu
Thomas Buntru, Director of International Programs at Universidad de Monterrey and current President of AMPEI, tbuntru@udem.edu.mx
Darla Deardorff, Executive Director of AIEA and Research Scholar at Duke University, d.deardorff@duke.edu
Susan Buck Sutton, Senior Advisor for Internationalization, Bryn Mawr College and current President of AIEA, ssutton@brynmawr.edu

Francisco Marmolejo and Andrew Gillespie are the facilitators. The participants play a very large role in determining the agenda by proposing topics for discussion. We anticipate that critical trans-American issues will be at the forefront, as we focus on collaboration, competition, exchange, mobility, comprehensive internationalization, campus initiatives, pedagogy, learning outcomes, research, and degree structures, among others. The overall goal of the Dialogue of the Americas is to bring us all together to establish strong professional networks that are built on trust, shared experiences, and common goals. Perhaps the most important aspect of the retreat is the opportunity to meet with engaged colleagues in an inspiring environment, where we will be able to freely share information and experiences, engage in constructive dialogue, brainstorm new concepts, and dream of a common American future in the true, continental sense of the word.
