	Highlights from 2011 2011 was a terrific year for CIL as we launched important new initiatives, strengthened others, and expanded our partnerships with communities across the country and colleges across the University of Minnesota. We welcomed University President Emeritus Robert Bruininks to the Center, and invited Rashmi Singh, recipient of the University of Minnesota's Outstanding Leadership Award for Internationals, to return to campus for a week-long fellowship with our faculty and students. Most importantly, CIL continues to expand and deepen our understanding of how acts of integrative leadership—leadership that fosters collective action across boundaries to achieve the common good—can make a positive difference in our world. In fact, it is essential.

	Cross-Sector Collaboration Helps the Urban Poor in India A CIL signature event this fall was Rashmi's Singh's visit to receive the 2011 University of Minnesota International Leadership Award on November 3rd for her work founding Mission Convergence, a game-changing initiative that has substantially re-engineered the delivery of human services to literally millions of Delhi's poorest and most vulnerable citizens through a unique blend of public-private partnerships. We were delighted to welcome her back to campus to receive her award and share her insights about integrative leadership. Rashmi's accomplishments are a shining example of how integrative leadership can make a profound difference across the word and we took full advantage of her visit for current students to hear how she introduced a collaborative approach of shared power and authority. She had a full scheduling including her participating in a Women in Public Policy and Global Public Policy student discussion, presenting to the Leadership for the Common Good Class, and a lunch and roundtable discussion with Humphrey Fellows and MPP partners.
