*UW HIGHLIGHTS*

CIBER Staff Update

CIBER will have a new executive director upon Gerry Muellers move to

Partnership for Management Education Program.

Russia Partner Program Update

The President of the Far Eastern State Technological Institute or FESTI
(the name has been charged from FETI to FESTI) , Gennadiy Lazarov,
recently spent ten days at the UW to continue program planning with UW
Project Director Richard Moxon. During one of many meetings with UW
officials while in Seattle, Lazarov and Dean William Bradford signed an
agreement between the Business School and FESTI to establish an exchange
program for the Russian track of the Certificate of International Studies
in Business (CISB) undergraduate program. We expect two UW undergraduate
students to travel to Russia for one quarter during the 1996 - 1997
academic year, while two FESTI undergraduate students will come to  the
UW.

Gordon Aamot, head of the Business School library, left on May 11, 1996
for a two week visit to FESTI. While in Vladivostok, Gordon will continue
working on a library development project at FESTI. Funded by CIBERs USIA
grant,  Gordon and the UW Libraries recently hosted  Tatyana Grekhova,
Director of the FESTI Library, during a one month residency at the UW.
Following  Grekhovas stay in Seattle,Gordons upcoming visit to Vladivostok
is not only designed as an opportunity for the UW to directly evaluate and
assist FESTI as they restructure and modernize their library, but also to
promote regional inter-library coordination within the Primorskiy region.
Gordon will speak at a Regional Libraries Conference in Vladivostok, as
well as visiting various library facilities throughout the city. We hope
this trip will provide the UW Libraries with  strengthened ties to
libraries throughout the Primorskiy region and access to valuable library
materials and information for UW students and faculty.
