Update from the Chair: President Larry Bacow In addition to the progress we have already made, the Talloires Network is currently engaged in a number of exciting projects. The Network has recently launched a Twinning Program for six universities in Africa, the US, and the UK, and is in the process of raising funds for the partnership. David Watson, Susan Stroud, and Rob Hollister continue their work on The Engaged University, a book of case studies on civic engagement at Talloires member institutions. In March 2010, the Network will be hosting a meeting of its Steering Committee members and regional partners at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center in Italy; you can find more information about this exciting event in the Announcements section below. Finally, the Talloires Network and the MacJannet Foundation have issued a call for nominations for the second annual MacJannet Prize for Global Citizenship. With your continued collaboration, we are confident that we will continue to make steady progress in the Network’s fifth year. Talloires Network wins grant to hold conference at Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center On March 23-27, 2010, members of the Talloires Network Steering Committee, Secretariat staff, and representatives of higher education networks from around the world will gather at the Bellagio Center to assess the current state of higher education civic engagement, including the Talloires Network’s efforts to date, map the regional challenges to the implementation of strategies to engage universities with the community, and plot a course for future action.
