Description

A University Turns to the World examines the growth of Michigan State University’s pacesetting International program beginning in 1956, when President John Hannah named the nation’s first international dean, Glen Taggart, to head a university-wide effort. In the years that followed, MSU’s technical assistance projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin The united states were the most important contribution to economic growth and development, they usually were integral to broad efforts to toughen the international dimension at home. The faculty members who went to Okinawa, Colombia, Brazil, South Vietnam, and Pakistan in the early years defined important goals they usually learned much. As the years passed, their experiences led to increased sensitivity to the complexities of development activity and the need for patience.
     Smuckler’s leadership of the international program and intimate involvement in MSU’s work from home and in another country enable him to recapture the dreams and disappointments of the development promise. In the long run, Smuckler demonstrates that the development programs of the mid-twentieth century prepared the ground for valuable new research activities and long-term mutually really useful ties between MSU faculty and institutions and colleagues out of the country.
