Outreach

Programs in International
Educational Resources (PIER)

The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale has a long history of commitment to the dynamic outreach programs in its area and international studies councils. The Programs in International Educational Resources (PIER) draw upon Yale University’s extensive resources to develop and implement programs, services, and resources designed to advance understanding of international and world regional issues through outreach to education, business, media, and the public.

To maximize services and resources, the outreach programs were allied in 1993 under the rubric PIER, Programs in International Educational Resources. PIER also collaborates as appropriate with other MacMillan Center councils, programs, and initiatives as well as on issues of slavery, resistance and abolition with the Gilder Lehrman Center.

Since its inception, PIER has made use of the scholarship of Yale’s outstanding faculty and staff in the promotion of research, development of effective curriculum, dissemination of resources, and articulation of international and world regional issues.
