FOREWORD
On behalf of the College of DuPage, I am gratified and pleased
to provide this publication as part of our continuing
partnership in implementing international/intercultural
education in the community college.
This sharing is an
extension of our own efforts at College of DuPage where
our
1991-1993 Catalog carries the sub-title, "A World of Learning."
For us, this message, as I wrote in my "From the President"
welcome, carries a double/complementary meaning: "We take pride
in our "World of Learning" galaxy of
programs and in noting that
"from a few rented classrooms a scant 25 years
ado, today our
service to students has gone international."
Our commitment to international/intercultural education is both
local and global: our community college district is
the home of
a large and increasing number of multi-national companiesvand
today all citizens must be knowledgeable of other cultures
and
nations, and be able to communicate with them.
At College of
DuPage, we have developed programs and services to help
our
students and community members understand cultural diversity
and
meet the challenge of the world marketplace.
Recently, our faculty and Board of Trustees have determined
that
all degree students must include international studies in
their
educational program.
It is the intent of this area of degree
requirements to broaden an individual's cultural
perspective by
exposure to at least one international culture significantly
different from his or her own.
Non-credit seminars and
workshops are also offered for those wishing to expand
their
international awareness.
What we are attempting and doing at College of DuPage is
part of
the larger, significant forward movement in
an increasing number
of U.S. community colleges.
This volume, in a-series begun in
1981, is both an example and a contribution to leadership
and
.
achievements for "A World of Learning".
We welcome and appreciate the opportunity to join with
our
colleagues by publishing, THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: A REPORT OF PROGRESS, VOL. III.
H. D. McAninch
President, College of DuPage

INTRODUCTION
This publication from College of DuPage is Volume III of a
series, "The Community College and International Education:
A Report of Progress," which was begun in 1981 from Brevard
Community College and continued in 1984 from Broward
Community College.
Like earlier volumes, it is published as
part of a grant received from the U.
S. Department of
Education: Title VI-A of the Higher Education Act,
"Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language
Programs."
This publication continues the earlier format: Part I
consists of six sections which introduce and provide
examples from writings, institutional sources, and consortia
which can help community colleges integrate
an
international/intercultural dimension in our colleges and
communities.
Part II consists of specific references to
College of DuPage, including materials related to its grant
proposals plus a listing and excerpts from 22 modules
prepared by DuPage faculty as part of its grant.
An
introduction to Part One is on page 1; to Part Two

The volumes in this series are supplementary.
Together,
they provide a comprehensive collection of grant proposals
and teaching modules from Brevard, Broward, and DuPage.
Moreover, the other parts of each volume include
numerous
articles and institutional examples of why and how
the
international/intercultural dimension has been implemented
and enhanced in community colleges.
A limited number of this publication was distributed free,
using grant funds, to contribu*-ors, representative
educators, and officials of foundations and government
agencies.

PART I: International/Intercultural
Education in the
Community College
This part consists of six entries:
a 59-page review and preview
of the international/intercultural
dimension in the community
college plus references to two preeminent
organizational sources
and three consortia which
can be of special, unique help to
our
colleges.
1. The monograph, "Integrating the
International /Intercultural
Dimension in the Community College,"
by King and Fersh was
jointly published by the Association
of Community College
Trustees (ACCT) and the Community
Colleges for International
Development, Inc.
(CCID).
Copies of the original monograph
(from which we have excerpted and
revised our version) were
sent by ACCT to the chairperson of
each of its member boards
of trustees.
The central purposes of the publication
are to
review the progress of international/intercultural
education
in the community college; to
consider ways of continuing and
enhancing this progress; and
to identify sources and
resources for implementation.
