Global Outreach

I believe that to strengthen our visible presence and to enhance our recruitment for faculty and students in the future, Taubman College should explore various levels and scale of global outreach with partners outside the U.S.  We already have relationships and these could be more fully acknowledged and formally institutionalized. The form this could take would be (1) faculty exchanges with other programs, lasting from long visits of 4-5 days, to semester-long commitments; (2) jointly sponsored conferences and workshops that would rotate from (say) Mexico City to Ann Arbor; (3) joint publications on topics that push the boundaries of what we currently understand "planning," "urban design," and "architecture" to be.
