    In March 2012, CMC Professors Jolanta Aritz and Robyn Walker co- chaired "Crossing Boundaries: Working and Communicating in the Asia-Pacific Region." This conference drew 60-plus researchers, faculty, and business professionals from more than eight countries. It was the first US-based conference of the Asia-Pacific Language for Specific Purposes and Professional Communication – this young organization held its first two bi-annual meetings in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. The focus of this conference was on English as a vehicle for global communication in business and other professions.
