EDITOR'S NOTE

CARNEGIE COUNCIL LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE
The Carnegie Council’s new website is now online.

Our web address remains the same: www.carnegiecouncil.org or www.cceia.org

Highlights include:

• Streaming video of events


• Video interviews conducted by Jere Van Dyk


• Free Podcast subscription and audios online


• New column, Carnegie Ethics Online


• Edited print transcripts with links


• Excerpts from the Council’s journal, Ethics & International Affairs


• Event calendar


• Improved search capability, organization, and navigation


• Short biographies of everyone associated with the Council. Each includes links to all of the person's online Carnegie resources, such as transcripts of Carnegie events and articles written for the Council.

These materials make great teaching tools and several educators are already encouraging their students to subscribe to Carnegie podcasts.

“I enjoy them immensely and for the first time I am integrating them into my Problems of International Relations course that I teach at the University of Colorado,” says Dr. Amy Eckert. “It's like having a new guest speaker every week or so.”

GPI WEBSITE COMING SOON
Work on a new site is well underway for the Carnegie program Global Policy Innovations (GPI), which should come online very soon. In the meantime new material is constantly being added to GPI’s present site, an online magazine known as Policy Innovations.
