As the Institute for Global Citizenship launches this month, questions remain over where the college will house the new division.
According to Ahmed Samatar, Dean of the Institute, there are plans to create a home for the Institute.
“There are different places we’re looking,” Samatar said. “But it’s too premature to know where we’ll end up.”
While there is a possibility that some of the Institute leadership will move into the International Center sometime this summer, it is too early to give an answer either way, said Michael Monahan, director of the International Center.
According to Monahan, some Institute staff, including Samatar, have conducted a walk-through of the International Center building to examine how much space would be needed to house the Institute in that building, as well as how space would be divided.
John Ullmann, the executive director or the World Press Institute (WPI), which is currently based in the International Center, said that there have been talks about the possibility of WPI moving out. If this is the case, WPI has requested that the move happen before June, when a group of fellows is scheduled to arrive, Ullmann said.
Ullmann has received no definitive response from the college.

Thanks for your write-up. Another factor is that being a photographer entails not only problem in taking award-winning photographs but in addition hardships in establishing the best digital camera suited to your requirements and most especially issues in maintaining the standard of your camera. That is very genuine and visible for those photography enthusiasts that are in capturing this nature’s interesting scenes — the mountains, the particular forests, the wild and the seas. Going to these exciting places certainly requires a photographic camera that can meet the wild’s harsh setting.
