OD: Creating Structure on the Home Campus to Support International Activities

Recorded: Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 1:00 PM ET

Overview

Colleges and Universities are expanding their presence outside their home country. Global operations in higher education range from enhancing student and faculty recruitment, conducting research and developing students, faculty and staff.  There are, however, legal, fiscal, and reputational risks involved with international activities.

This webinar is intended to share common and best practices used by colleges and universities to support international activities. We will be discussing the roles of administrative offices, academic units, and third party providers. Also discussed will be processes and procedures to vet global activities and policies commonly implemented to govern these processes.

The panel assumes that every institution is in a different stage of development with regard to supporting international activities. Webinar content will be designed to assist universities across all spectrums, including those with robust, mature infrastructures to support international activities, to universities that are just starting out.
