ACE History of Helping Institutions to Internationalize

How is the Internationalization Laboratory organized?
Each institution forms an internationalization leadership team on campus.
Each team sends representatives to three learning community meetings in Washington, DC, to share information and to do problem-solving.
Each team does on-campus work of an internationalization review, development of student learning outcomes, and creation of an internationalization strategic plan.
Each campus hosts a site visit to begin the Lab process and a peer review visit at the completion of Lab activities to assess goals and strategies.
Each campus gets monthly phone calls from the Lab director to assess progress in completing Lab activities

Clear organizational leadTimed to respond to University’s Plan
Developed by working group, approved by Executive Committee
Clear mission, goals, strategies and indicators
Advantages: Clear connection to larger campus goals; Efficient and painless process
Challenges: IP strategy, not internationalization strategy; Out of sync with broad internationalization
assessment

Building a Secure World Through International Education
Decentralized ModelPrinceton in the World, 2007
http://www.princeton.edu/reports/globalization-20071017/index.xml
No clear organizational leadNo University strategic plan, loose mission: “… in the
service of all nations”Developed by all-faculty advisory committee, separate
from OIPClear on what will NOT be done, less clear on what WILL
be done
Advantages: Campus-wide, no “ownership” issues, allows flexibility
Challenges: Hard to get started, can lead to confusion over who does what

Why enter a Strategic Planning Process?Establish internationalization as a goal throughout the University Community
Engage stakeholders in process of campus internationalization
Determine who might be against internationalization and engage them
Come to consensus on specific goals/programs
Reach out to alumni, funders and the broader community
Create a Plan for Internationalization on Campus
CAUTION: MAKE SURE PLAN WILL BE ADOPTED

What were the most important findings of the Plan?Terrific amount of international work taking place
International processes and policies need to be strengthened
International work needs to be organized to allow better functioning and outcomes – Creation of the Center for International Affairs
Metrics are required to move to the next level of international activity
Raising funds is an important component of a successful program
Work needs to continue—graduate and professional schools, research and broader strategy
Continuous outreach and consensus building is the only way to have an ongoing, positive impact on campus
