Smith Faculty: October 4 Deadline to Notify Smith CIBER of Intent to Apply for 2014 FDIBs

Friday, October 4, 2013 is the deadline to decide where in the world you want to further your global business knowledge over winter or summer break! CIBER's Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) programs are now accepting applications. Last year the Smith School sponsored Paulo Prochno for travel to India and Stephanie Eckerd to Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

This spring and summer CIBERs around the country will offer four programs on which our faculty can participate: Australia, China, Kenya/Tanzania, and Vietnam. You'll see below that deadlines are rapidly approaching. If you are interested in applying for one of these programs please let CIBER Director Kislaya Prasad (kislaya_prasad@rhsmith.umd.edu) and CIBER Coordinator Valerie Mahar (vmahar@rhsmith.umd.edu) know by Friday, October 4.

Good luck with your applications!
