The Robinson College has a growing presence across world. Many of our international outreaches carve new roads in locations where there has been little previous interaction with American business models. Our students, representing 47 countries around the world and throughout the United States, benefit from a wealth of international programs and global institutional linkages. Central to the success of our international initiatives is the highly experienced and outstanding Robinson faculty as well as our equally talented colleagues at the College's many partner institutions.

	Poznań-Atlanta Program Robinson's First As Robinson continues to expand its international programming, it is interesting to note that the first international partnership secured by the school, the Poznan-Atlanta EMBA program continues to thrive. In operation since September 1995, the program bolsters Polish graduates' career prospects by strengthening their education utilizing Robinson's renowned faculty. Developed under the vision and leadership of former Robinson Dean John Hogan, and with the seed financing from a grant provided by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the two-year program is now fully financially independent and graduates 30-35 business leaders per year.

	Roy Johnson Served as Fulbright Scholar Roy Johnson served as a Fulbright Scholar to the University of Pretoria in South Africa for the 2006-2007 year. This top international academic honor is externally competitive with less than 5% of the applicants receiving awards. Johnson lectured, conducted research, and mentored. Lecturing included graduate and undergraduate teaching, curriculum development, and seminars for faculty, staff and students. He also accepted a position on the program committee of an African Conference. This year, the traditional Fulbright Scholar Program will send U.S. faculty abroad to 140 countries where scholars lecture and conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Under a cooperative agreement with the Bureau, the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) assists in the administration of the Fulbright Scholar Program for faculty and professionals.
	Bijan Fazlollahi, Professor in the Institute of International Business, has agreed to serve as Director of RCB's Center for Business Development in Transitional Economies. Establishment of the Center was approved by the University, after its approval by the RCB faculty. Bijan has an outstanding record of obtaining and executing research grants relating to business development in transitional economies, and we look forward to his leadership in expanding those activities in the College.
