Comprehensive Internationalization: What, Why, and How?This webinar took place in October 2012 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionInternational education experts Hans De Wit and Madeleine Green will define comprehensive internationalization and illustrate how institutions can use the concept to develop an integrated and pervasive internationalization plan. They will explore different underlying rationales for internationalization and their alignment with strategy. De Wit will provide a historical and European perspective to internationalization and describe the reasons for a rethinking of that concept under the impact of the global knowledge society. Green will discuss lessons learned from a wide variety of campuses in the USA on successful implementation. Participants will gain the latest insights on comprehensive internationalization and why it needs to be at the core of higher education in the 21st century.

Internationalization of the Curriculum in ActionThis webinar took place in June 2012 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionInternationalization of the curriculum is a much-debated concept and a key issue in higher education. In this webinar we will discuss a conceptual framework of internationalization of the curriculum which was developed as part of a National Teaching Fellowship in 2010-2011. The framework has been useful in assisting faculty to begin the process of IoC. The webinar will be based on the key findings of the Fellowship program and discussion will focus on how these, and the resources that were developed, might be used in American universities and colleges seeking to advance internationalization of the curriculum.

Leveraging Corporate Partnerships for Higher Education InternationalizationThis webinar took place in January 2012 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionThe webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities of partnerships between universities and corporations in support of internationalization efforts broadly defined. Using the example of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Illinois), the webinar will discuss how corporate relations can interface with campus internationalization efforts, and provide specific examples in which corporate-higher education partnerships have furthered internationalization goals. The webinar will be jointly presented by Wolfgang Schlör, Interim Associate Provost for International Affairs and Interim Director of International Programs and Studies at Illinois, and Pradeep Khanna, Associate Chancellor and Executive Director of Corporate Relations at Illinois.

Advocacy 101: What SIO's Need to Know NowThis webinar took place in January 2011
DescriptionIt’s been said that advocacy is part of every SIO’s job. With sweeping changes in the federal political landscape this year, it’s time for all of us to actively support high priority international education and exchange programs like Title VI, Fulbright, and Gilman. Featuring two top Washington policy specialists, this AIEA webinar will provide the fundamental knowledge all SIOs need to build their leadership skills on key federal policy issues affecting international education and exchanges. Practical and effective ways that international educators can prepare for and be involved in the advocacy process will be highlighted. The webinar will not only outline the new political framework and potential risks to international education and exchange programs, but it sets the stage for the Washington Update session at AIEA’s annual conference next month in San Francisco where more specific and detailed challenges will be identified and discussed. PresentersMiriam Kazanjian Michael McCarry Promoting US Institutions' International Dimensions Through International ConsortiaThis webinar took place in December 2010 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionThis webinar will review the benefits and challenges of working with consortia as institutions develop relationships and programs outside the US to strengthen their international dimensions. Colleges and universities have joined together in international, national and state-level consortia with shared interests in international education, research, and development assistance to more effectively leverage their resources and promote their programs. This webinar will discuss processes for forming, operating and sustaining international education consortia and how to manage the interests of member institutions. In addition, the webinar will discuss other entities with which institutions may interact as they develop and promote their international programs, including international development organizations, US embassies abroad, Education USA Centers, Fulbright Commissions, state and federal trade offices, and other organizations promoting international cooperation and exchange.PresentersBetsy E.

Thriving in Tough Economic Times: Fundraising on an International StageThis webinar took place in October 2010 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionAs state and federal funds decrease, higher education costs have steadily increased thus causing staff and faculty to supplement program spending by developing aggressive strategies to raise funds. This webinar will address the importance of developing a strategic fundraising plan, identify the essential components of a fundraising plan and recommend ways to implement these efforts to gain optimal institutional momentum. A second objective is to position the SIO to seek alternative measures to secure funds for program development activities as well as other additional resources to continue to support their institutional goals and international objectives.

Strategic Planning in Uncertain TimesThis webinar took place in September 2009 Hosted by AIEA / Duke University DescriptionThe process of strategic planning is relatively simple to describe, but how it is actually done depends greatly on two things:
Prior to the webinar itself, participants will receive an outline of the strategic planning process in general. We’ll refer to this at several points in the webinar itself, but we will spend most of our time looking at how both institutional culture and institutional uncertainties affect the process. We’ll begin the webinar with a very quick overview of the strategic planning process, keyed to the outline distributed beforehand. Then we will move directly to a consideration of how institutional culture influences the way in which plans are made. We’ll spend most of our time, however, dealing with “uncertainties” which affect many of us. We’ll pay particular attention to three of these:
In each case, we will not be offering prescriptions or solutions. We’ll try instead to suggest ways in which you can approach or frame these issues, as you begin to grapple with them. Our presenters will talk for no more than thirty minutes. This will leave us an additional thirty minutes for questions and answers. Please click here to download the presentation.
