Support International Business Education & Research!
Dear Folks Center Friends:
As you can see, 2025 was another banner year for the Folks Center and the International Business Department. Not only have we continued nearly three decades of our No. 1-ranked International Business educational programming and research, but we have also become a central entity on issues of global competitiveness and innovation.
But we need your help now more than ever to build on the legacy of IB@Moore that Randy Folks and his colleagues began over 50 years ago: Our international business activities have taken a major financial shock because of the U.S. Department of Education’s sudden decision to discontinue all grant programs for international studies, including our Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER). Since 1989, CIBER has been at the foundation of all our IB programming, directly impacting our students, faculty, the Folks Center, our partners and our stakeholders, all of which have helped us achieve our important ranking.
We see this crisis as an opportunity: The Folks Center is mobilizing its allies and faculty to create new sources of funding to sustain our success.
Join us in shaping an even more impactful 2026! Please use this link or scan the QR code below to give generously and fuel the continued success of the International Business program.
