The need was not only to understand the history and the roots of many of the people in the State, but also the current cultures, issues, trends, and values of modern Asian and Pacific countries. The subsequent endeavors of the faculty, many of them chronicled in these volumes, have been a success and added a tremendous amount of excitement and energy to the college. The Beacon project has allowed us to work with our associate colleges to com- pare experiences, goals, and dreams of international and multicultural education. This sharing has resulted in these four volumes of papers, and the task has only begun. There is much to learn and much to share about how to help students and the community know a little more about the people and places across and within the Pacific. The ultimate educational goal is to replace conflicts stemming from cul- tural misunderstandings, for example, the recent rhetoric of blame and faultfind- ing between East and West, with mutually beneficial endeavors based on understanding and cooperation. We invite you to join us in continuing the dialogues and discussions
