Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


The American Council on Education’s Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement (CIGE) has released the third and final installment of a three-part series on internationalizing the co-curriculum, entitled Internationalization and Student Affairs. The report posits that the contributions of student affairs professionals are essential for moving the internationalization of higher education from vision to reality. As internationalization accelerates on U.S. campuses, administrators rely on student affairs and student services personnel to do more—not only to serve more international students, but to help all students develop global and intercultural competencies. As higher education institutions worldwide become increasingly connected, the student affairs profession, too, is becoming more global. Part three of the report addresses the challenge of adapting U.S. models of student affairs to new cultural contexts. The report is part of CIGE’s Internationalization in Action series, which seeks to provide guidance to institutions engaged in internationalization, and features institutional strategies and good practices gathered from participants in CIGE programs and other experts in the field.
