HISTORY AND MISSION
Since its founding over a decade ago by Raymond C. Lee, who presently serves on the Board of Trustees of Gordon College, the East-West Institute of International Studies has sought to contribute to world community by encouraging greater cross-cultural and international understanding. The Institute sponsors numerous educational programs to enhance interactions across geographic, cultural, ethnic and racial boundaries.
The Institute is a specialized, independently funded arm of Gordon College's educational program devoted to furthering East-West relations and appreciation. It functions within the governance and policy structures of the College.
