As a learning community of 124 institutions, the Collaborative provides a forum for faculty and administrators to share ideas and help each other in furthering their international agendas. Members share information about institutional strategies and outcomes and key issues that need further research and advocacy.

The activities of the Collaborative focus on the challenges to implementing comprehensive internationalization strategies at member institutions. The activities of the Collaborative are guided by the Advisory Council, an 18-member group that serves as a liaison to other Collaborative members and provides direction for Collaborative activities.

For information about joining the Collaborative, please contact Jarred Butto at jbutto@acenet.edu.

Annual Meeting

ACE sponsors an annual meeting of the Internationalization Collaborative in Washington, DC, bringing together the leadership teams from each of the member institutions. Agenda items for past meetings have included sustaining comprehensive internationalization, faculty engagement, international learning outcomes, assessing internationalization, and strategies for moving ahead. The Annual Meeting is open to Collaborative members only.

Working in partnership with the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA), the 2012 Internationalization Collaborative Annual Meeting, "The Collaborative Advantage: Exploring the Next Horizon in Global Engagement," will be in conjunction with the 2012 AIEA Annual Conference. The preliminary agenda is now available. You can register for both, the ACE Internationalization Collaborative meeting as well as the AIEA Annual Conference, (as a package or individually) via the AIEA website.

Information about the 2011 Internationalization Collaborative, "Advancing Internationalization: Communities and Campuses Working Together," is available online as well as other past Collaboratives.
