On 17 April 2003, as part of the "Expressions of Diversity Conference" at Rochester Institute of Technology, PEN-International conducted a panel discussion. Members of the panel described those issues and challenges that have been confronted by PEN-International while offering faculty development programs in countries with differing cultures and educational systems.
PEN-International director James J. DeCaro and PEN-International coordinator E. William Clymer co-facilitated the dialogue. Those serving as panelists were: Patricia DeCaro (PEN-International research consultant), Justin Drawbaugh (RIT information technology student who participated in the first PEN-International ambassador of goodwill exchange) and Minoru Yoshida (PEN-International cooperative education student and PEN-International student assistant).
