  5. 20th Century—Where we’ve been • Ethos of Development & Aid • State Security and Intelligence • Local Diversity and Multiculturalism 21st Century—brings new urgency, new global competition • Globalization of Higher Education • Technology & Knowledge Economies • Millennial Styles of Learning • Cycle time of Governance in Higher Ed • Bridging international and intercultural • Competition, Costs & Sustainability

  6. A range of activities, policies, and services that integrate an international and intercultural dimension into the teaching, research, and service functions of the institution. Knight, J. (1993). Internationalization: Management strategies and issues, /International Education Magazine/, /IX/ (1), 6, 21, and 22. UNI Defines Internationalization as:

  7. A few other definitions— • the conscious effort to integrate and infuse international, intercultural and global dimensions into the ethos and outcomes of postsecondary education. (NAFSA, 2008) • The process of integrating an international perspective into a university…working to change the internal dynamics of an institution to respond to an increasingly diverse, globally focused and ever changing environment (Ellingboe, 1998)

  8. Make internationalization an institutional priority • Ensure active leadership • Create a strategic framework for action • Focus on the curriculum • Invest in faculty opportunities • Build on student interests and demographics Adapted from American Council on Education, Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses (2008) a basic recipe

  9.

  10. Threads of Internationalization

  11. Establish Global Learning Outcomes aligned with institutional mission • Design frameworks for development of global competencies • Support initiatives for internationally and interculturally focused courses/programs • Encourage innovation for the infusion of international/intercultural integration across disciplines • Guide students in making connections between disciplinary knowledge and global competencies • Etc. Curriculum is key!

  12. What would it look like to “prepare students to thrive in a diverse global environment” ? Provide them with opportunities to develop: • competencies and dispositions to engage productively with fellow human beings in different cultures and countries, • an interest in learning about other countries and regions or topics global in nature, • and, the competency to understand global affairs.

  13. Internationalization is a ‘no brainer’ in the context of higher education today. • Not only are we already global, but we are ALL global. • Internationalization must be intentional, responsible, and sustainable. • Whether curricular or co-curricular, what we do should be educationally relevant and support the success of our students. • Strategy and initiatives must align with institutional mission and identity.
