It opened the college and our community to international opportunities that would never exist otherwise.”  \n–Rollie Santos, Director, Center for International Education, Lakeland Community College (Ohio)  \n“The Title VI B funding helped us to take a risk with a needed executive training program in international trade. Over 10 years later the program is self-sustaining and remains one of our most highly visible outreach activities to the international business community.”  \n–James F.
