The first New Jersey International Education Summit was held on October 27, 2004 at Princeton University. The goal of the summit was to provide information to develop a five-year state plan that will ultimately improve the capacity of New Jersey’s schools to provide quality international education programs. The summit was the first of many activities designed to:

• Raise awareness of the importance of international knowledge to social and cultural integration in New Jersey and to New Jersey’s economy;
• Mobilize political, corporate and education leadership to support a greater focus on education about other world regions, their languages and cultures; and
• Build networks among educators and schools interested in infusing international knowledge and skills across the curriculum and strengthening existing international education programs.
