CONNECTING THE SMITH SCHOOL WITH THE WORLD

The CIBER Program was created by Congress to foster international understanding and enhance the ability of American businesses to prosper in the world economy. The Smith School CIBER helps achieve this mission by integrating the Smith School's extensive international resources with those of Washington area institutions and organizations. Our specific initiatives deal with critical competitive issues of national, regional and local significance. CIBER also supports the Smith School’s mission of (1) preparing students for global leadership, (2) providing thought leadership in international business, and (3) working to build the international skills of area executives and residents.
