This document provides guidance on attracting international students and internationalizing a university. It recommends developing an at-home internationalization strategy through increased instruction in English, cultural competency training, attracting more international faculty and students, and innovative uses of technology for international collaboration. A key part of the strategy is creating an international student handbook that addresses student concerns and highlights what makes the university unique from the student's perspective. Conducting research with current international students is also advised to understand why they chose the university. The document concludes with considerations for sending local students abroad to US universities.
Who is Not Studying Abroad? An Examination of Three Institutional Perspective...CIEE
Â
To understand how to expand education abroad opportunities, we need to understand who is not going abroad. Presenters will share what they've done (or are doing) to expand participation with respect to the barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture. Participants will be invited to share best practices on how to change perception and make study abroad â academic study, work, or internships â more accessible. Case studies will include the Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) Haiti Initiative, an innovative student-directed program; Susquehanna University, which made study away a curricular requirement; and Medgar Evers College, the only Predominantly Black College (PBI) in the City University of New York, will explain how a one-person office has increased the numbers of underrepresented students going abroad.

It Takes a Village: Building a Support System for Diversity AbroadCIEE
Â
Racial/ethnic diversity in study abroad increased 10 percent from 2004 to 2014. Despite the increase, study abroad continues to fall low on students of colorâs priority list. Irrespective of their rationale for not going, students of color continue to receive fewer messages that study abroad is worthwhile. To fill this gap, panelists in this session will argue that faculty involvement â particularly faculty of colorâ in the planning process and while on-site is imperative. The inclusion will allow students to see themselves reflected in study abroad programs and may increase the likelihood that students will participate. This session will feature multiple perspectives to demonstrate the important ways to utilize faculty in the effort to increase student of color participation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Methods of attracting international students
1. Bringing the World to
Your University
Methods for Attracting
International Students
Constance DeVereaux, PhD ďŻ University of Connecticut
Prepared for American Council on Education
2. What weâll talk about
⢠Internationalizing your
university;
⢠Attracting international
students;
⢠Template for an international
student handbook;
⢠Sending students to a US
university. *
3. Internationalizing Your University
Student and faculty mobility has become increasingly desirable as part of internationalization
efforts in higher education.
Cost is a significant barrier for the majority of students and faculty in universities in Kazakhstan.
Traditional mobility (study abroad) is the âgold standardâ but there are many ways to provide an
international experience to all students.
One such strategy is at-home internationalization (Knight 2004; Soria & Troisi 2013; Beelen & Jones
2015).
At-home internationalization also serves to attract more international students.
4. Some solutions
⢠Increased instruction in English
⢠Prep courses in cultural and intercultural
competency
⢠Assist individual faculty members in
developing an international profile (social
media).
⢠Seek alternatives to dual degree programs
(example: short term study, online study,
funds development for international study).
⢠Attract more international students.
5. Development of At-Home Strategy:
Components
Academic curriculum is
internationally
focused.
Standards for faculty
and student
achievement are
aligned with
international norms.
Strong focus on
interactions between
local students and
international students
and faculty.
Internationally focused
research agenda (with
incentives).
Innovative uses of
digital technology (real-
time interaction with
students and faculty in
other countries)
Focus is on ALL
students, not only
those who can afford
the time and money to
travel
6. International students as
consumers/investors
⢠Branding is a key strategy (Berry, 2000).
⢠Higher education is a professional service characterized by
a high level of experience qualities which make the
purchase risky (Mourad et al 2010).
⢠International students consider their university choice an
investment. They want to know what the pay-off will be for
the choice they make.
8. Some simple research
⢠Organize a group of your existing international
students. Ask them to tell you why they selected
your university.
⢠Talk to your international faculty and ask them for
their advice for attracting international students.
⢠Answer the question: why will an international
student choose YOUR university instead of one of
the many other excellent universities in the world?
⢠You should be able to answer this question in a way
that is relevant and meaningful to prospective
international students.
9. Your
findings
Rather than what you want to
tell them, think about what
they will want to know about
your university.
Once again, why will they
choose you instead of
another university?
10. Guidelines for
the handbook
⢠Created from the point of
view of international
students who will apply
(what will they want to see
and read about?).
⢠Written in excellent English.
Proof read to remove ALL
errors. The English text must
be VERY HIGH QUALITY.
11. An example
An important task of the education system in
Kazakhstan, according to the State Program for
the Development of Education and Science, is
to activate the processes of self-organization
and self-regulation of young people in various
spheres of society.
An important aim of the education system in
Kazakhstan, according to the State Program for
the Development of Education and Science, is
to promote self-reliance and self-direction
among young people, in all their interactions,
for development of their lives and careers.
12. Guidelines,
continued
Focus on the student experience
both academically and socially.
Focus
Figure out what is unique about
your university and make sure to
state it prominently in the
handbook.
Unique
Be truthful about what you
present. Do not include
over-stated claims.
Claims
13. Guidelines, continued
⢠The handbook is NOT about the
upper leadership of your university.
They are not the reason an
international student chooses you.
⢠The handbook SHOULD promote
faculty accomplishments.
⢠The handbook SHOULD promote
student accomplishments.
14. And finallyâŚ
⢠Give the prospective student a
very comprehensive view of what
his/her life will be like at your
university.
⢠Include lots of helpful guidelines
and instructions â they convey the
sense that the prospective
student will be well taken care of.
⢠Address potential fears and
concerns (safety, discrimination,
finances).
15. Sending students to the U.S.
⢠Competition â students from all over the world apply to US universities and pay
full or near full cost. Students who receive funding have exemplary qualifications
â usually in STEM, but also in the arts.
⢠Admissions requirements â students MUST meet all the requirements. An
important requirement is passing marks for English-language exam.
⢠Cost â universities in the US are typically not willing to offer guaranteed
admission to students from another country. U.S. tuition, on average, is much
more expensive than KZ universities.
⢠Universities are not federally-controlled. Universities must follow federal and
state laws but are generally not obligated to admit foreign national students.
