Dear Networkers:
Relcom is considering the creation of a new newsgroup,
"relcom.comp.newmedia," which would be a forum for discussions about
the use of new media forms (such as e-mail, Usenet and the Web) to
distribute news and information globally. The group's clientele would
include computer experts as well as journalists and, of course, anyone
else interested in the subject.
Relcom is the largest computer network in the former Soviet Union,
and such a newsgroup would do much to widen the global discussion about
the future of online media.
I am trying to help Relcom's Tatiana Savenkova get out the word about
the call for votes -- with a deadline of January 31. The CFV (in
English and Russian KOI-7) is archived at ftp://eskimo.com/GlasNews/cfv.
It also has been posted to the newsgroup "relcom.talk." For further
information, you can contact Tatiana at tis@kiae.su.
Please consider sending her your vote of support.

Subject: CivilSoc: NEW NIS electronic mailing list
CCSI Announces CivilSoc Listserv
Civil Society Resources for the NIS Available by E-Mail
Center for Civil Society International announces the start-up of
"CivilSoc," a new electronic mailing list of news and resources,
electronic and print, of interest to individuals and organizations
engaged in civil society institution-building projects in the NIS
(former USSR). The electronic mailing list (or Listserv, as it is
commonly known) will be available, free of charge, to anyone with
access to e-mail. It will consist of e-mail messages which are
delivered to everyone who signs up. The list is made possible by
the Friends and Partners project, founded and operated by Greg
Cole of Knoxville, Tennessee, and Natasha Bulashova of Pushchino,
Russia.
Because some subscribers based in the NIS must pay for all
incoming mail, we intend to keep postings concise: an average of
1-3 kilobytes, with a monthly volume of around 20-30 kilobytes.
If you have longer messages to submit to the Listserv, please do
so, but we may edit them for length.
We hope that CivilSoc will grow over time and reflect the
interests of many subscribers. Initially it will consist of
announcements about projects and resources, print and electronic,
that we post. But we encourage all participants, especially those
in the NIS, to submit their own material for posting.
Examples of items that CivilSoc will contain include:
* Books and resources available in print and electronically
* Civil society institution building projects in the NIS
* Curriculum available via e-mail, and other distance learning
materials
* Grant Opportunities
* Lists of e-mail contacts
* Reviews of Internet mailing lists (Listservs)
* Job opportunities
* Brief profiles of 3rd sector organizations worth knowing
about
Reviews of electronic resources will include directions for
retrieving them, even by users who only have e-mail access.
Topics that CivilSoc will cover include:
* Agriculture
* Art
* American studies
* Business
* Civic education
* Consumer protection
* Criminal justice
* Disabilities
* Environment
* Health
* Law
* Media
* NGO organizational development
* Public administration
* Social welfare
A regular feature will be an electronic edition of CCSI's monthly
newsletter, "Civil Society ... East and West."
CivilSoc is an automated Listserv meaning you are responsible for
signing on to the list and taking yourself off.
To subscribe to Civilsoc, send a one-line e-mail message with the
words:
subscribe civilsoc firstname lastname
to the following address:
listproc@solar.rtd.utk.edu
If you have any trouble you can contact CCSI at:
ccsi@u.washington.edu
In order for you to get an idea of what we will be putting up on
the Listserv, we will mail you separately a sample posting from
the November 1994 issue of CCSI's newsletter.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN BULGARIA: The American University in
Bulgaria (AUBG), located in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, started class-
es in 1991, with the purpose of offering a 4-year undergraduate
American Liberal Arts education in a Balkan setting. Its general
mission is to provide an intellectual atmosphere that provides
the learning needed for Balkan citizens and institutions to join
the mainstream of western education, join the emerging global
economy, and create a civil society - a society that is steeped
in the rule of law, universal human rights, and traditional
liberalism.
Specifically, AUBG seeks to graduate students who have been
exposed to the world in these broad terms. The chosen method of
accomplishing these goals is a liberal arts education; an educa-
tion based on traditional western concepts of liberal arts as
originating in the Renaissance - a tradition that provides criti-
cal thinking, knowledge to use critical thinking and professional
skills to use the knowledge. The faculty, through the development
and execution of a distinctive curriculum is supporting the
accomplishment of the overall vision and mission of the university.
The initial majors at AUBG (applied economics, business adminis-
tration, computer science, English, history, journalism, politi-
cal science, southeast European studies) were selected as import-
ant in meeting the needs of the university's customers - stud-
ents, balkan societies, and balkan social institutions. There are
three major components in the curriculum. Core classes, designed
to provide basic writing, computer, and thinking skills. General
education courses designed to provide a wide ranging set of
viewpoints and opinions, while professional education to provide
a potential work forces, both within and outside academe. All
three sets are to further the goals of a liberal arts education
within the work places of the Balkans.
Within the curriculum, AUBG faculty is assuring a continuing
broad education throughout the four years through cross-discipli-
nary activities - cross-disciplinary team teaching, cross-disci-
plinary course listings, and cross-institutional teaching. The
latter includes inviting professors and occupational profession-
als to participate in the education of AUBG students and sending
the students into the wider social environment to work and learn.
BUSINESS CURRICULUM: The intent of the AUBG business curriculum
is to provide students with an ability to make profound changes
in any environment in which they choose to work. The business
curriculum is based on two fundamental assumptions: business is a
social science - not a mathematical science; successful business-
es, in the late 20th century, function as interdependent reali-
ties. Realities that integrate into the cultural norms, ethics,
and values of the local and regional cultures in which they
operate and create new constellations from local and regional
groupings, while maintaining a strong core id entity for them-
selves. The business curriculum is designed from these assump-
tions. Its purpose is twofold: (1) provide an education that
permits those graduating from it to have the knowledge and skill
to lead the necessary changes from a command to a market-oriented
economy; (2) assure graduates can lead themselves and others in
integrating their business education in a wider social context.
Particularly, the curriculum provides the basis for students to
(1) identify key constituencies (customers) for whom they can
work and thereby extend western business concepts, education and
training, (2) learn and use communications methodologies required
by key constituencies, and (3) learn and use appropriate and
effective techniques and tools for measurement of results ob-
tained in the class r oom and in the general business environ-
ment. Its graduates should be able to work in global companies,
Bulgarian companies, or be able to start up their own enterpris-
es. The AUBG business curriculum is designed to provide the
basic business skills needed by a graduate, a broad understanding
of the social context in which business takes place and the
analytical skills needed to integrate the entire learning process
at AUBG.
There is a mix of business courses, core course, and general
education courses throughout the four year education, permitting
parallel learning of business skills and life skills. The general
education categories are designed to provide both analytical
skills and specific knowledge in fields other than business. We
recommend that business majors also take courses in Balkan his-
tory, to assure a deeper understanding, of the region from a
fresh point of view; Shakespeare literary analysis to gain a
deeper understanding of the human condition; an anthropological
course studying ethnicity and its role in the Balkans; a public
speaking or theater course from the fine arts. To further broaden
the student's experience base, the business curriculum has elec-
tive courses from other social science disciplines.
BUSINESS CURRICULUM INNOVATIONS TO MEET THE AUBG MISSION: The
basis of the curriculum is to create a basic paradigm shift from
a producer/consumer paradigm to a customer supplier paradigm. It
is also designed to fit into a framework that will prepare stud-
ents for further graduate study in the US and for employment in
global firms.
The business curriculum to be innovative, at the undergraduate
level, in three ways: (1) it is highly rigorous in demanding a
melding of theory, analysis, and action; (2) courses require that
students demonstrate their ability to work with on-going problems
and institutions located in Bulgaria; (3) learn to work to gether
in ways that develop leadership and motivational skills. The
purpose of these innovations is to inculcate in students the
ability to understand change and ways to effect change through
the concept of constant improvement. The overall purpose of these
innovations is to create a learning organization within the
business curriculum - an organization in which everyone is both
teacher and stud ent. Of the business electives, 73% are taught
by disciplines other than the business faculty. This provides
assurance for the development of a broad basis of understanding
of business, business skills and their use in the business arena
as well as in society as a whole.
Interested parties please send a letter of interest, curriculum
vitae, and three letters of recommendation to: AUBG Faculty
Recruitment Committee, AUBG Washington Office, 1750 K Street, NW,
Washington, D.C. 20006. Residents of Europe may send their mate-
rials to the Faculty Recruitment Committee, American University
