1. $3 million to expand international student support services - This would fund hiring more advisors, expanding the international student center, and increasing programming to help international students adjust. 2. $1 million for faculty development in global education - This covers training faculty on issues like cultural awareness and USCIS regulations to better support international students in their classes. 3. $1 million for recruitment and scholarships - The final amount aims to attract more international students through recruitment trips abroad and merit-based scholarships.

2. Scenario
• You are a member of a space crew originally scheduled to
rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the
moon. However, due to mechanical difficulties, your ship was
forced to land at a spot some 200miles from the rendezvous
point. During reentry and landing, much of the equipment
aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching
the mother ship, the most critical items available must be
chosen for the 200 mile trip. Listed are the 15 items left
intact and undamaged after landing. Your task is to rank order
them in terms of their importance for helping your crew to
reach the rendezvous point. Place the number 1 by the most
important item, through number 15 for the least important.

3. Survival Items
• Box of matches Food concentrate
• 50 feet of nylon rope Parachute Silk
• Portable Heating Unit Two .45 caliber pistols
• One case dehydrated milk Stellar map
• Two 100 lb. tanks of oxygen Self-inflating life raft
• Magnetic compass 5 gallons of water
• Signal flares
• First aid kit, including injection kit
• Solar-powered FM receiver-transmitter

4. NASA’s Rank Order List for Survival
• Number 15
• Box of Matches – Virtually worthless
– there’s no oxygen on the moon to
sustain combustion

5. • Number 14
• Magnetic compass – The magnetic
field on the moon is not polarized, so
it’s worthless for navigation.

6. • Number 13
• Portable heating unit – Not needed
unless on the dark side of the moon

7. • Number 12
• One case of dehydrated milk –
Bulkier duplication of food
concentrate.

8. • Number 11
• Two .45 caliber pistols – Possible
means of self-propulsion.

9. • Number 10
• Signal flares – Use as distress signal
when mother ship is sighted

10. • Number 9
• Self-inflating raft – CO2 bottle in
military raft may be used for
propulsion

11. • Number 8
• Parachute silk – Protection from the
sun’s rays

12. • Number 7
• First aid kit, including injection
needles – Needles connected to vials
of vitamins, medicines, etc. will fit
special aperture in Nasa space suit.

13. • Number 6
• 50 feet nylon rope – Useful in scaling
cliffs and tying injured together.

14. • Number 5
• Solar-powered FM receiver-
transmitter – For communication
with mother ship (but FM requires
line-of-sight transmission and can
only be used over short ranges)

15. • Number 4
• Food concentrate – Efficient means
of supplying energy requirements

16. • Number 3
• Stellar map – Primary means of
navigation – star patterns appear
essentially identical on the moon as
on earth.

17. • Number 2
• 5 gallons of water – Needed for
replacement of tremendous liquid
loss on the light side of the moon

18. • Number 1
• Two 100 lb. tanks of oxygen – Most
pressing survival need (weight is not
a factor since gravity is one-sixth of
the Earth’s – each tank would weigh
only about 17 lbs. on the moon)

19. Scoring
0-25 excellent
26-32 good
33-45 average
46-55 fair
56-70 poor – suggests use of Earth-bound
logic
71 – 112 – Very poor – you’re one of the
casualties of the space program

20. International Education Scenario
• Ms. Susan Park, a former international student
and Business major at your university and now a
highly successful business women in her home
country, has donated $5,000,000.00 (five million
dollars) to promote international education at
your school. She has requested that the donation
not be broken up into more than three categories
(to avoid piece meal supplements). How would
you use this donation for the purpose for which it
was donated?
