ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013 A leader in international , academic exchange, and overseas language immersion, American Councils creates opportunities that prepare individuals and institutions to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.

American Councils is helping to build a world of globally competent citizens, successful institutions, and responsible nations. Letter from Our President

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The year 2014 marks four decades of commitment and activity across the globe for American Councils.

We have dedicated these past 40 years to developing educational programs, standards, and best practices that help connect peoples and cultures around the world. Today, we are a leader in the field in implementing new models for overseas study and training in immersive environments, consulting with foreign governments on capacity building and innovation in higher education, and creating new systems and tools for assessing language and cultural competency.

During 2012 and 2013, American Councils organized more than 250 distinct study and training programs in the U.S. and abroad for over 15,000 participants, and expanded our activities into 62 nations proudly represented by over 450 staff members around the world. The impact of American Councils programs is evident in the career achievements and leadership activities of our more than 50,000 alumni worldwide. Throughout 2012 and 2013, several decades of U.S. alumni of American Councils overseas programs in and gathered for professional roundtables and receptions to re-connect, and to share their experiences and views about the region. In November 2013, former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley traveled to Moscow at American Councils’ invitation to join alumni from across Eurasia to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the FLEX program.

American Councils regards international academic exchange combined with immersion study, language acquisition, fieldwork, and cultural learning as central to a well-rounded school or university education. High- impact research and innovation are increasingly linked with international collaborations and the powerful circulation of new ideas that they can generate. As we all appreciate, international collaboration is never a one-way street. For most professionals around the world (be they in business, science, education, or social enterprise), competence in two or more languages is the norm rather than the exception. In America, despite an increasingly diverse population, the percentage of bilinguals hovers around 20 percent, creating a real national challenge to global economic competitiveness and security.

From new professional exchanges with to the opening of a French/Wolof program in Senegal, to the launch of the U.S.-Russia Innovation Corridor to host biotech and IT startups, and to a new program on peace and conflict resolution in Tbilisi, , we continue to pursue our mission to build a world of globally competent citizens, successful institutions, and responsible nations.

We are proud of our long-standing partnerships with the U.S. Department of State (Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs), the Library of Congress (Open World Leadership Center), the Defense Language and National Security Education Office (DLNSEO), the U.S. Department of Education, private and overseas donors, and foundations that have made these programs possible.

I salute all of you who contribute to the planning, support, and implementation of the programs represented on these pages and invite your comments and suggestions on the work of American Councils at any time.

Sincerely,

Dan E. Davidson President American Councils for International Education Table of Contents
