| Synopsis: |
Internationalizing the Academy is the first book to offer a detailed look at efforts to bring ambitious and expanding portfolios of international programs to US campuses. Gilbert W. Merkx and Riall W. Nolan, leading figures in the burgeoning internationalhigher education sector, provide a thorough examination of how numerous "internationalizing" efforts are being implemented and promoted on a strikingly wide range of campuses. At the heart of the volume are accounts by eight of the nation's most experienced senior international officers that explore crucial aspects of their work: the strategic visions for international education that they helped develop on their own campuses; how they worked on behalf of those evolving visions with key stakeholders, including the administration and faculty; and the main lessons that they learned in the course of creating these programs. The result is a singular-and uniquely useful-resource for leaders and policy makers in the higher education field that comes at a time when colleges and universities are urgently scaling up their international ventures.Internationalizing the Academy is an essential account of a dynamic, centrally important development on campuses throughout the United States. |
