U.S.-France Education RoundtableThe International Programs office at the

Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE-Inter-national) is working with France’s NationalInstitut de Recherche Pèdagogique (INRP) inParis to establish the first U.S.-France Educa-tion Roundtable. Dean Susan Fuhrman and Ex-ecutive Director Cheng Davis traveled to Francein March and met with INRP’s Director Anne-Marie Parrin-Nafakh to lay the groundwork forthe roundtables, which will be held, at a minimum,in 2002 and 2003. GSE’s national research center,the Consortium for Policy Research in Education(CPRE), will represent the U.S. side while INRPwill represent the French side.

Stressing the relationship between educationand economic growth, the roundtables will ad-dress professional development and the rela-tionship between research in education and gov-ernment policy. By promoting dialogue on thesetopics, the roundtables encourage the exchangeof information and enable each country to learnfrom the other.

A second outcome of the trip was the signingof an agreement with France’s premiere teach-ing college, the Institut Universitaire de Forma-tion des Maitres des Pays de la Loire (IUFM) inNantes. The agreement establishes a faculty andstudent exchange program between GSE-Inter-national and IUFM. The program available toGSE faculty and students in spring 2002, willfocus on education internships, professional de-velopment, and national standards in education.

Fresh Air Food PlazaTemporary Relocation

The eight campus food vendors cur-rently operating the “Fresh Air FoodPlaza” adjacent to Gimbel Gymnasiumwill be temporarily relocated to SansomStreet. The interim move is necessary dueto construction of the David S. PottruckHealth and Fitness Center, which will add65,000 square feet of state-of-the-art rec-reational space to the existing GimbelGymnasium facility. Construction of thefacility is scheduled to begin on or aboutMay 22 and is expected to last approxi-mately two years.

During construction, the eight foodvendors currently operating in this spacewill be temporarily relocated to the southside of Sansom Street, between 37th and38th Streets, alongside the Mod VI park-ing garage. In addition, a small outdoorseating area will be established on thelawn to the west of the Greenfield Car-riage House, to accommodate customersduring warmer months.

Signs will be installed along WalnutStreet, 37th and 38th Streets, to directpatrons to the new location.
