Center for International Initiatives: Past Initiatives

The Internationalization Forum for Chief Academic Officers (2005-2008), funded by the Henry Luce Foundation, engages 50 chief academic officers from different sectors in a dialogue on broadening and deepening internationalization on their campuses.

Lessons Learned in Assessing International Learning (2005-2008) was a three-year project funded by FIPSE to advance the assessment of international learning with the long-term goal of improving student international learning at U.S. higher education institutions.

Global Learning for All (2002-2007) explored global learning at institutions that serve large numbers of nontraditional students through the articulation of global learning outcomes and alignment of international activities with the learning goals. This project was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation.

Where Faculty Live: Internationalizing the Curriculum (2004-2006) promoted the internationalization of teaching and learning at U.S. colleges and universities through collaboration with four disciplinary associations in the fields of geography, history, political science, and psychology. This project was made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Collaboration Between K–12 and Higher Education Institutions (2003) conducted a sample study to identify collaborations between higher education institutions and K–12 schools/school districts. The resulting database helps K–12 schools teach students about the rest of the world and provides sources of possible funding to achieve this goal.

Mapping the Landscape: A Research Project on Internationalization (2000-2003), funded by the Ford Foundation, was a three-stage research project aimed at better understanding the state of internationalization efforts at U.S. colleges and universities, particularly at the undergraduate level.
