What does it take to build successful programs across institutional and international boundaries? Globalism and its impacts on the mission of public servants has not diminished. Some schools are responding to this by providing international cross institution experiences for their students, others partner with other schools to deliver a common curriculum to students from two institutions who get joint degrees together. This panel includes leaders of several successful programs delivering varieties of these kinds of experiences. Their presentations will reveal what motivated them to pursue the arrangements, what the barriers were to doing so, and the experiences of students, faculty and staff participating in them. Mark D.
