In January 2005, President Rosenberg established a high-level planning committee (comprising a number of deans, directors and students) to develop concrete recommendations regarding the mission and structure of what was then provisionally referred to as The Center for Global Studies and Citizenship. The members of this committee met weekly during the Spring 2005 term and again for several days during the summer. In September 2005, the committee submitted a consensus report to President Rosenberg outlining a plan for consolidating several existing administrative units (the Internship Program, the Community Service Office, the International Center, and elements of the Dean of International Studies and Programming) into a single structure that would constitute an institutional focal point for educating global citizens and leaders. The report also recommended that this unit be called The Institute for Global Studies and Citizenship. Following a careful review of the committee’s report, President Rosenberg decided to adopt its recommendations almost without modification. The president has, however, made two modifications to the plan outlined in the report. First, in the interest simplicity and clarity, he has decided that the name of the new unit will be shortened to The Institute for Global Citizenship. Second, he has decided that no action will be taken on the recommendation to incorporate the Internship Office into the new Institute until a review of the administration of all internship activities at the College is completed next year. Otherwise, the unit will have the mission and structure recommended by the planning committee.
