For more than 50 years, PACIE has worked to strengthen international education across the state. Join us in Philadelphia at the 2024 PACIE Conference: Foundations for a Global-Ready Future, to network, share resources, and enhance your skills, all towards advancing global learning throughout the Commonwealth.
Now more than ever, students must develop global competencies and cross-cultural skills to serve them in their future careers. How do we as educators build these opportunities into teaching and learning? How do we provide a foundation for lifelong global learning?
As the birthplace of the U.S., the first U.S. World Heritage City, and as the site of a new initiative, the Global Philadelphia Higher Education Hub, Philadelphia has long been essential to global learning within Pennsylvania.
Opening Plenary
Investments in Education: Pennsylvania’s Commitment to a Global Future
Speaker: Dr. Carrie Rowe, Deputy Secretary, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Pennsylvania Department of Education
As Deputy Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) in the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Dr. Rowe brings 25 years of public education experience and provides guidance, support, and oversight to partners in the K-12 field, including public, approved private, career and technical centers, and charter schools across the Commonwealth. In this opening plenary, she will discuss her work at the Pennsylvania Department of Education, particularly during this historic time of investment in K-12 education in Pennsylvania, as she focuses on fairness and justice in the allocation of resources and the elimination of institutional barriers to access and opportunity.
Lunch Plenary
Promoting Philadelphia as a Global Education Hub

Join us to celebrate PACIE Director Emeritus Christina Good as she receives the Christina Good Legacy Award !
As PACIE Executive Director of 25 years, Christina Good transitions to Director Emeritus as of July 1, 2024. At this year’s conference, PACIE and its Board of Directors will honor and celebrate her remarkable tenure with the Christina Good Legacy Award. This recognition is first awarded to its namesake, the person who served as Executive Director of PACIE for nearly half of its first fifty years of existence. Moving to PACIE from a role in global education at Arcadia University, Christina Good brought expertise and the capacity to facilitate connections across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and around the world. She collaborated with PACIE leadership from large and small higher education institutions and across the K-12 landscape, working with many of the PA leaders who would go on to influence national and international insights and policies in global education. While her knowledge of global education, PACIE, Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania institutions is incredible, it is her patience, her adaptability, and her relationality that drove a successful quarter-century of PACIE stewardship. The Board of Directors honors Christina Good as the first recipient of this award, and does not plan to bestow the award annually. Rather, the award may re-emerge when appropriate, to celebrate legacies that extend above and beyond even normal expectations of excellence.
More details will be announced soon about when Chris will be formally honored during the conference.
Read Christina Good’s farewell letter as she moves to retirement in July 2024 and concludes her 25-year tenure as PACIE Executive Director.
