Like many other French professionals now, Ms. IMBS (BOYLE) has found that creating links between universities and business helps qualified students find employment while at the same time updating business practices for employers too busy to resume their own studies. She therefore instituted a series of "PHARE" ("lighthouse") lectures to develop a network between business leaders and university faculty and students. The PHARE network is now well established at the regional level, and Ms. IMBS (BOYLE) is trying to expand it to the international level. She would also like to advance this goal through the Strasbourg sister-city program. Pia IMBS (BOYLE) is Vice President of PHARE and still assistant professor at IAE. She resigned from her position as director in order to be more available for a new assignment at the Regional Council, where she is the leader of a project on the evolution of professional teaching at the university level. Strasbourg and Boston have been sister-cities for over 40 years, but most of the exchanges were limited to the cultural and educational fields. Both cities seek to develop more exchanges in business and economics. The opportunity of a VolVis Program for one day in Boston for Pia IMBS (BOYLE) would greatly contribute to this aim. It would also be a good investment for the USG, within the lines of MPP priorities because it would reinforce Franco-American friendship, mutual understanding, and shared values through collaboration with an important French educational institution. Upon her return, Pia IMBS (BOYLE) hopes to bring a new impetus to the Boston-Strasbourg sister-city relationship as well as contribute to developing new exchanges with the United States at the university level and throughout the Alsace region.
