In an era marked by global interconnectivity, SIOs bear a unique responsibility in shaping the landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) on their campuses and in international education. This interactive workshop invites SIOs to engage in a dynamic exploration of contemporary DEIB issues crucial to their roles. Participants will delve into strategies for allocating resources and assessing the impact of DEIB initiatives, ensuring sustainable commitment to these principles. They will also discuss internal and external stakeholders positioned to collaborate on opportunities to advance DEIB priorities effectively. In a world where DEIB efforts may face political risks, SIOs will discuss the importance of resilient leadership and advocacy to maintain these priorities. This workshop empowers SIOs with actionable insights and a peer network dedicated to fostering inclusive, equitable, and globally connected educational environments.

Make no mistake! … what constitutes a quality international education has already changed and students know it! And while Intercultural Competence—the gold-standard learning outcome of international education since the war ended in 1945—retains its central importance, ethically grounded and career-oriented learning in the Anthropocene must now embrace three new core developmental outcomes: knowledge of planetary boundaries, understanding of human welfare as articulated by UN SDGs, and strategies of individual and public action that lead humanity through the looming Earth crisis.
This workshop provides you, the SIO, with everything you need to know and do to serve as the eco-literate and climate-action oriented professional you must become to lead in today’s entirely new educational landscape. From frameworks of eco-competencies to techniques of carbon accounting, from high-impact teaching and learning eco-pedagogies to strategies and tools for assessing student sustainability knowledge—this workshop empowers you to view internationalization and global learning through the deep green lens of Earth sustainability. This is the only education students care about--and they are right!—because it’s the only education that now matters. Join the movement and align your internationalization strategy to both planetary boundaries and radically altered student expectations. |

SIOs often need to make a case for internationalization, which requires them to connect the goals of internationalization with the goals of multiple stakeholders. While individuals may use logic to make that connection, a more resonant strategy is storytelling.
In this session, participants will learn to create and tell memorable stories that inform and inspire others. |

This workshop explores how your institution can develop a purposeful international partnership strategy that results in an effective portfolio of linkages that advance the institution, engage a wide range of faculty, staff, and students, and can be sustained over time. Experienced practitioners provide research findings, practical knowledge, and models for establishing the goals, criteria, policies, supports, and processes that foster partnership success and bring clarity and intentionality to partnership decision-making. Geared towards international education professionals with several years of experience, especially those who are responsible for partnership building at their institutions, the workshop equips participants with the basics of how to plan, organize, initiate, sustain, and evaluate partnerships between their home institutions and those in other countries.
