Editor's Notes
- IES Alumni Survey Study Abroad for Global Engagement SAGE Group w/ Forum survey Career choice, improved work-related skills, maturity, confidence, problem solving ability, fluency, knowledge of culture, adapting to different cultural/social mores, dealing with difficult situations, Quote: “Studying abroad was a life changing experience. I became a global citizen, striving to understand the impact of my choices and actions on people, cultures and places beyond the scope of my experience.” (ID#7996, SAGE Survey, pg 54, http://www.cehd.umn.edu/projects/sage/Forum-SAGEPresentation.pdf) choice of major, higher grades, re-energized for academics, richer classroom contributions. Philanthropy, volunteerism, Quote: “I believe that my study abroad experience is a large part of the reason that I try to not to be "overly consumptive", e.g., recycling much more than most people I know, driving a small hybrid car, and not being part of the consumer society (I don't buy much outside the basic necessities, and am very happy with that).” (ID#7868, SAGE Survey, pg 57, http://www.cehd.umn.edu/projects/sage/Forum-SAGEPresentation.pdf)
- Transcript: As we internationalize, and we have students from different countries, and we have students bringing back their experiences from abroad, and bringing all of their different heritages into the classroom, that means there's a greater diversity of perspective in the classroom, and everybody is stretched by hearing those different voices. We are in conversations across the campus with our faculty to see where there can be flexibility, how the curriculum can be modified in such a way that students can have time to study languages, and have time to explore different international topics that interest them, and especially have time to get away and study abroad. You start into these experiences thinking that you're going to gain this wonderful understanding about people that are different from you. But the individuals who probe most deeply, whether it's here on campus with these experiences or whether it's abroad -- I think the individuals who probe most deeply end up questioning American culture, questioning their own identity and looking at it in a different way, and certainly looking particularly at American culture in terms of what they value, and where they see we might need to make some changes. So yes, that questioning, that curiosity, is very much a part of everything we're doing with internationalization.

- Belated re-entry program or cross-cultural exercises. RCC-international student workers and returned peer counselors gain new understanding of their program once they've worked in the office.
- Participate: NAFSA either volunteer spots or attending conferences-re energize SUNY or other consortium SUNY CIE Home campus Host campus Know your community and it's needs
- Provide a strong academic program Provide useful student services & resources
- Smart way to use their empty student housing. Staff that the students come in contact with experience the program for themselves.
- Along with what Katherine said before this illustrates how study abroad has become part of the campus fabric: Transcript: We could think about ourselves as a provincial, upstate New York university, but instead we see ourselves as a community of scholars and students engaged in the world, so that means that international topics pervade the curriculum. It means that faculty and students are out in the world. Faculty -- doing research, attending international conferences. Students -- volunteering abroad, studying abroad, doing internships abroad. Then there's an attitude here that we accept and welcome the diversity and the practice of different cultures that students bring with them. One of my favorite examples about that is that during the month of Ramadan, one of the Sodexho cooks gets up at 4:00 in the morning to cook breakfast for all the members of our community who wish to fast, and would like to have a hot breakfast before the sun rises. I think the first characteristic of Binghamton that has enabled us to do this is the work of the faculty. The faculty has embraced our internationalization efforts wholeheartedly. They have created innovative programs. They've modified the curriculum. They support and encourage the students to study abroad. April 21, 2008.
- University of Minnesota and Michigan.
- Team meets with host university reps during campus visits. Possible visits by home campus to host campus.
- RCC-Wintersession programs supported scholarships. Included as part of program fee, the charge covered increase in gas prices or exchange rate. If not used, it went towards scholarships for short term programs.
- Ealing College of Higher Ed-locals knew if you were American, you were attending Ealing College. If they met you out in the community, they made recommendations on where to go, what to see, groups to join outside of campus. Organizations to join, volunteer, work on campus Millenials are civic minded, want to better the world in which they live.
- Reciprocal evaluators-they could act as ‘independent’ reviewers for your school and you for them.
