INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION LECTURE SERIES
The Center for Global Programs and Services presents a series of lectures exploring timely topics and emerging perspectives in international education and global engagement. Open to the entire University of Delaware community, the series provides opportunities for faculty, staff, students, and campus partners to learn, connect, and engage in dialogue around global issues. The lectures support UD’s strategic priorities and leadership vision for advancing global engagement and strengthening an inclusive, globally connected university community.
Internationalization in Higher Education has become a central priority for institutions around the world, yet it is often understood through a narrow and fragmented lens, focusing on student mobility, international student recruitment or institutional prestige. What might internationalization look like if students were placed at its center? How can institutions build on existing strengths, connect disparate initiatives and develop a coherent, future-focused strategy grounded in their particular contexts, goals and values? And how can the benefits of internationalization be understood, communicated and valued across the institution? This presentation explores these questions through a student-centered approach to internationalization strategy and practice.
