Aug. 16, 2001

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University's Kelley School of Business today (Aug. 16) announced the formation of a new advisory board to oversee its wide-ranging global programs and activities.

The new International Affairs Advisory Board will advise the school on its overall strategy as it relates to globalization, including internationalizing the faculty, educating future managers and leaders, and assisting the business community.

"The Kelley School has tapped key corporate and government leaders, as well as academicians, who will offer their expertise to two important centers concerned with global programs and activities. Their counsel will be invaluable as we move forward with the school's globalization strategy," said Dean Dan Dalton.

Board members will advise on the activities of the school's nationally recognized Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) and the well-respected Global Business Information Network (GBIN).
