IU Joins U.S. Delegation Traveling to Cuba Gerardo Gonzalez and the delegation will visit with officials at a half dozen universities.

An IU leader will travel to Cuba this weekend to explore potential partnerships. Gerardo Gonzalez, dean emeritus of the Indiana University School of Education, will join a delegation of U.S. higher education leaders on the trip.

IU says the group will learn about the current state of higher education in the country. School officials say the trip is part of the Institute of International Education’s broader initiative to reinvigorate higher education engagement between the U.S. and Cuba. This comes after the two countries re-established diplomatic relations.

"The thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations provides an unprecedented opportunity to promote understanding and collaboration between academic institutions in both countries.

The trip is scheduled for October 24 to 31.
