Presidential Internationalization Initiatives

The President's Internationalization Initiative is integrally related to each of the other President's Initiatives (diversity, assessment and student advising). This initiative seeks to broaden the understanding and involvement of the campus community with the global community through curricular integration, travel abroad opportunities, increasing the international presence on campus, and engagement with others throughout the region, state, nation and around the world. The Internationalization Initiative, facilitated by Gil Latz, Vice Provost of International Affairs, works closely with the Office of Academic Affairs and the President's Office.

In 2002, during the first year of this initiative an Internationalization Action Council was formed. The main focus of the Council was to revise and refine the 2001 goals and recommendations created by the International Working Group and draft an Internationalization Action Plan that will be taken to the campus community for review and input. The Internationalization Goals are continuously reviewed and are the basis for the Internationalization Action Council's work.
