$250

ACE-AIEA Internationalization Collaborative registration covers the Saturday, Feb. 18 event only, including continental breakfast and lunch. Attendees must register separately to participate in any AIEA pre-conference workshops or conference events on Sunday, Feb. 19 - Wed., Feb 22.

The American Council on Education’s (ACE) Internationalization Collaborative is a network of over 120 institutions which has convened annually for over a decade. This yearly event provides leadership teams of faculty and administrators from across the nation with a forum in which to address pressing themes in the field of international education, share innovative models of campus practice, and network with colleagues. Members of the collaborative recognize that the coordinated efforts of key members of the faculty and administration are essential to the development of fully institutionalized, comprehensive strategies for campus internationalization and global engagement.

Through its year-long work with the Blue Ribbon Panel on Global Engagement ACE has sought to examine the international landscape in which higher education operates and develops internationalization strategies. This year’s Internationalization Collaborative meeting will provide participating teams with the opportunity to learn more about the ways in which ACE will continue to support the higher education community through the provision of research, advocacy, leadership development, and practical tools that enhance global engagement.

ACE and the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) share many common objectives and have begun to explore opportunities to work together through jointly sponsored initiatives. This year’s meeting of the Collaborative will be co-sponsored by both associations and held in conjunction with AIEA’s Annual Conference. Participants are encouraged to attend both meetings and the Collaborative is open to interested participants from among AIEA’s membership. Highlights from the discussion will be captured and used to identify models of promising practice and strategies that can be scaled to a wide array of institutional types, sizes, and governance structures.
