Communiqué

Communiqué Editor:  John Heron

Our newsletter is published in the fall, winter, and spring and occasionally in the summer. A full-color, down-loadable version (PDF) is placed on this website, and CCIS members are notified when a new issue has been published. In addition, the newsletter is printed in black & white and mailed to those members who request a “Mailed Copy” in their annual membership renewal form. As an economy measure, we encourage people to get the electronic version via the website rather than the printed version. An additional benefit to the reader of the electronic version is that it often contains stories and pictures that don’t fit in the printed version.

Although our focus is on the people and activities of CCIS, we write stories about the other groups that make up the services of the Bechtel International Center. That would include the professional staff located on the 2nd floor of the building and the spouses of Stanford’s internationals who volunteer to teach cooking, dance, and the language of their native tongue. Many of these folk help as volunteers with I-Center and CCIS activities, and a few have been chairs of CCIS programs and officers

We seek to have the Communiqué serve three purposes. Like most organizational newsletters it announces upcoming events, reports on current events, and honors significant accomplishments of its members. A second goal is to provide information and ideas that assist volunteers in their work with their international partners. In our third goal we try to connect the dots between the various components of the Bechtel International Center, and to help all of us see our place in a complex organization.
