A number of PASCAL colleagues have participated in one or more of the last three Higher Education Reform Workshops in Berlin (2011), Vancouver (2010), and/or Mexico City (2009). I would like to extend a special invitation for you to participate in the next HER Workshop which will be held for the first time in the United States at the University of Pittsburgh from 10-12 October 2012. We are delighted by the co-sponsorship by PASCAL of this event.

The theme for the 2012 HER Workshop--Reforming the Policy and Practice of Community Engagement of Higher Education--was conceptualized with the intent to attract many interesting proposals and a lively debate. I encourage you to visit the Workshop website at www.iise.pitt.edu/her9 for the full Announcement and Call for Papers (also attached in PDF format).

 Pittsburgh is a historic city and we are celebrating our 225^th anniversary at the University of Pittsburgh. We look forward to seeing you again in October 2012.

Sincerely,

James Jacob
