In the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors (NAFSA) report “Comprehensive Internationalization: From Concept to Action, ” the concept of comprehensive internationalization is defined as “a commitment, confirmed through action, to infuse international and comparative perspectives throughout the teaching, research and service missions of higher education. It shapes institutional ethos and values and touches the entire higher education enterprise.” This is truly the essence of building a strategy that is global.

How is internationalization defined on your
campus?
How would you describe your
“institutional will” for internationalization?
Without “will” how do we convince
administrators that internationalization is important?
What is your ideal for internationalization? With funds? Without funds?
