A Message from the President 2008 PBD Conference to Be in Columbus MEDALLION JULY 2007 The International Newsletter of Phi Beta Delta, Honor Society for International Scholars A Message from the President Last year marked an obvious milestone for Phi Beta Delta. Finishing the 20th year with consecutive annual meetings, growing to over 160 chapters in the U.S. plus chapters in Switzerland, Canada, Bul- garia, Italy and three chapters in Mexico and approving 11 new chapter petitions signals a healthy Society. The effort and focus that it takes to start a new chapter is more than matched by the dedication required to sustain a chapter over so many years. We are very fortunate that so many of our founding chapters are still going strong through the untiring efforts of Chapter Coordinators and their many enthusiastic volunteer members. Volunteerism keeps the Society alive in spite of all the added I E W work recently heaped upon our International Program Officers around the country. Loosing an inactive chapter should be a call to action for our active chapter mem- bers. As we have discussed many times, we want to establish a Chapter Mentor Inside this issue: Network that can encourage and assist revival efforts of our inactive chapters as well as to assist building new chapters in each administrative region. President’s Remarks and 2008 1-2 Conference Site With the help of our good Regional Vice Presidents, during the early fall season, we hope to identify those chapters that have shown no activity in the last two years and Call for Papers 3 to enlist the active Chapter Coordinators and members for their assistance to revive chapters in their areas. So often a supportive contact in another institution is NAFSA Conference Success 4-5 PBD Planning Calendar 6 2008 PBD Conference to be in Columbus, OH Ohio State University’s Alpha Epsilon International Education Week 7 Chapter and the Board of Directors want to welcome you to Columbus, Call for Nominations for Awards 8 Ohio for the 2008 Phi Beta Delta Con- ference, which will take place April 16- Survey Results 9 19.

If you have attended a PBD Conference, you already know what a variety of dynamic presentations are offered and how nice it is to have the chance to speak in an intimate atmosphere with colleagues from all over. If you have never attended a PBD Conference, then treat yourself to a truly stimulating experience! We want to see at least one representative from each PBD chapter at the Chapter Management Workshop, where we can share ideas on how to have a dynamic chapter and membership and share our enthusiasm for our Honor Society. I hope each Chapter Coordinator will write to me to let me know who will be representing your chapter. My email address is: [email protected]. We have negotiated a great rate of $112 per night at the Crowne Plaza Hotel right in downtown Columbus. This rate will apply up to 3 days before the conference and 3 days after the conference, depending on space available, so reserve your room early. There are so many things to do in Columbus that I know you’ll want to stay the week- end after the conference and enjoy the sights. You can visit the statehouse, eat at the various ethnic restaurants, sip coffee and chat at the cafes and pubs, do a Short North gallery hop, go to the Nationwide Arena, wander down cobbled streets and shop, see the Santa Maria, visit the Center of Science and Industry (COSI), enjoy entertainment at the beautiful Southern Theater and at the Ohio Theater, stroll through German Village, and do so much more. As the new President-Elect of Phi Beta Delta, I look forward to meeting each of you in Columbus! President’s Remarks continued enough to get a chapter going again. The possibility of an existing archive of past activities, membership lists and institutional commitment makes the task much less daunting. The paperwork of petitioning is eliminated and the major work is internal to the particular institution. Delta Iota chapter, University of Houston members with the direction of Chapter Coordinator, Anita Gaines has put together a video that explains and illustrates the process of establishing and maintaining a new chapter. There are several slide shows produced by our Past President, Michael Smithee that highlights Phi Beta Delta chapter activi- ties. Mike Smithee, our new Director of Publications, has also revived our Medallion Newsletter and plans quarterly editions that highlight the national and chapter activities of our Society. Through these tools, accessible through the New (August) Society Web Page, http://www.phibetadelta.org/ and encouragement from active, neighboring chapters can go a long way toward securing new members. Promoting Scholarship in International Education for over 20 years by honoring the students, faculty and staff of all disciplines whose participatory efforts confirm valued cultural exchange, international partnerships and the roots of our own heritages is no longer a dimension of luxury in education but a necessity. International education is no longer an isolated discipline in itself but an essential dimension to any educational program. Our Goal now, for each year, is to have 20 new and/or revived chapters. This will require a concerted, organized volunteer effort but will be another good reason to celebrate at our next Annual Meeting planned for Columbus, Ohio, April 16-19, Dif- ferent Heritages – Common Humanity. Please see the details within this issue of the Medallion from Monica Free- man, our President-Elect and Chairperson for the 2008 Annual Society Meeting. I think that it is essential for each chapter to send an official, voting delegate to Columbus for the April 2008 An- nual Conference. See you at the Crown Plaza Hotel then. Eugene “Gene” Egger, International President, Phi Beta Delta and The Patrick and Nancy Lathrop Endowed Chair Professor of Architecture Virginia Tech University Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars Call for Papers Twenty Second Annual International Conference on the World’s Shared Knowledge: Conference Theme: “Different Heritages - Common Humanity” April 16– 19, 2008 – Columbus, Ohio This international conference will provide many opportunities for academicians, students, and professionals to in- teract with members inside and outside their own particular disciplines.

  • Part Time Mba Curriculum
    PART TIME MBA CURRICULUM In developing participants’ managerial key capabilities and meeting the important demands of today’s global business community, the CIMBA MBA program combines the knowledge of functional aspects of business with fundamental managerial processes and leadership-behavior learning experiences. CIMBA has developed a learning environment that fully integrates knowledge aspects (KNOWING), Rational Process (DOING) and Behavior developmental challenges (BEING). This philosophy helps participants develop skills to turn ideas into practical innovations and to effectively manage and lead others to higher levels of performance. KNOWING The MBA program covers the functional aspects of business through academicals modules, classes and trainings that provide the participants with a strong grounding in fundamental business disciplines. The total number of class hours to complete the MBA Part-time is 800. DOING Knowledge is of little value to a manager until it has been translated into an actionable activity (a decision made, a problem solved, or a problem avoided). The process tools are integrated into every class, activity, and project in the program. Those processes form the basis for communication in both the learning and living environments, significantly enhancing student development. In this way, students build managerial key capabilities fundamental to asking the right questions, identifying situations and setting managerial priorities. BEING At CIMBA we provide students with continuous assistance and support in the development of their leadership-behavior capabilities. Learning opportunities for the development of fundamental soft skill are integrated into every class, activity, and project within the program.

The program focuses on providing young entrepreneurs with the practical business tools and personal characteristics required to allow them to advance to higher levels of responsibility within their companies - or to create and build their own businesses. University of Iowa Tippie School of Business partnership: CIMBA provides Participants who successfully complete its Executive Certificate in International Management and Strategy with a Certificate in partnership with the Tippie School of Business, the Business school of the University of Iowa. Participants: • Entrepreneurs and Managers • No undergraduate degree is required for admission to the Executive Certificate. • Participants are required to have a good working knowledge of the English language. • Participants with work experience generally benefit more from the Program than participants without work experience.

In selecting participants for admission to the program, CIMBA considers a variety of factors including motivation, personal maturity, integrity, leadership characteristics, entrepreneurship, inclination towards personal and professional risk taking, and the ability to relate to others, and a strong spirit of adventure. In evaluating candidates for many of these characteristics, CIMBA relies on evaluative personal interviews.

  • Problem Solving and Decision-Making Training 1 – 2 Marzo 2018
    Problem Solving and Decision-Making Training 1 – 2 Marzo 2018 CIMBA e KEPNER TREGOE Sin dagli anni ‘50 Charles Kepner e Benjamin Tregoe capirono che la capacità decisionale dipende dal processo logico per riunire, organizzare ed analizzare le informazioni prima di passare all’azione. In base a questa teoria, fondarono KT Kepner-Tregoe, un’organizzazione volta ad analizzare e sviluppare i processi di pensiero critico applicabili al business. Il loro libro, The Rational Manager, (McGraw Hill, 1965) è diventato un classico nell’ambito del business, tradotto in molte lingue e letto ovunque. Kepner Tregoe è stata la prima organizzazione a concentrarsi sulla necessità di training e formazione nell’ambito del problem solving e decision making e a diventare leader indiscussa del settore. Oggi i processi KT vengono utilizzati da milioni di aziende di tutto il mondo per ottenere risultati sostenibili. CIMBA, già dal 2003 ha scelto di applicare e integrare le metodologie Kepner Tregoe in ogni sua classe, attività o progetto. CIMBA è inoltre da qualche anno licenziatario esclusivo per l’insegnamento della metodologia Kepner Tregoe in Italia con seminari Kepner Tregoe aperti al pubblico. CONTENUTI DEL CORSO Questo corso fornisce una metodologia per gestire anche le problematiche più complesse in azienda e risolverle in modo efficace e definitivo grazie a decisioni ponderate e condivise all’interno del team di lavoro. Alternando spiegazioni a simulazioni e lavori di gruppo, passo dopo passo i partecipanti acquisiscono degli strumenti pratici per gestire in modo efficace il problema in ogni suo dettaglio, organizzando informazioni, conoscenze ed esperienze senza spreco di risorse e tempo.
