I thought some of you on the listserv might be interested in this program.
The Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication is now accepting
registration for its 2006 summer sessions. Below is a brief description of
the institute I copied from the website:

"In 1976, Clifford Clarke, David Hoopes, and King Ming Young founded the
Stanford Institute for Intercultural Communication. With the support of
NAFSA and Stanford, this began a ten-year genesis of what was to become the
Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication. Faculty and resource
persons that first year included several people who, after thirty years, are
still familiar names. Some of them are Jack Condon, George Renwick, Muneo
Yoshikawa, Sheila Ramsey, Allen Ivey, Bob Moran, and Nessa Lowenthal. Many
of these seasoned ³veterans² are still giving their time and energy to make
SIIC a magical learning environment. Participants during the first SIIC
included Nancy Adler, Monica Armour, Janet Bennett, Milton Bennett, Ben
Broome, and Peggy Pusch.
The growth of the Summer Institute is truly gratifying! The inaugural
Institute had fewer than ten workshops over two weeks, with 83 participants.
In 2006, SIIC is offering 52 one-, three-, and five-day workshops with over
600 participants expected."
