Framework for Comprehensive Internationalization The key to global engagement: comprehensive internationalization. Extensive literature from national associations (ACE, NAFSA, AAC&U, APLU). Adaptation suited to WMU (and further for its constituent elements). International Education Council March 13, 2014

Framework Highlights III: Student Mobility (study abroad, international student recruitment and services). – Active part of institutional strategy since 1990s. International Education Council March 13, 2014

Framework Highlights IV: Student Affairs: residence life, health services, co- and extra-curricular activities. – Comprehensive internationalization is not just a curricular matter. International Education Council March 13, 2014

Framework Highlights XI: Marketing, Communications and Enrollment Management – Global engagement becomes part of the identity of WMU. – Note: College-bound high school students factor in international opportunities when choosing their institution.* International Education Council March 13, 2014 * ACE College-Bound Students' Interests in Study Abroad and Other International Learning Activities.

Framework Highlights II. Internationalization of the Curriculum – What are the global skills, knowledge and awareness we want WMU graduates to have? – Student mobility can play only a small role. – All disciplines have an international dimension. International Education Council March 13, 2014

Framework Highlights I: Institutional Culture – Global engagement will retain significant gaps without a change in institutional culture. – Academic units must be self-conscious in addressing it. – Comprehensive internationalization will not occur without senior leadership commitment. International Education Council March 13, 2014
