Institute for Curriculum and Campus Internationalization (ICCI) 2013 at the Center for the Study of Global Change at Indiana University Bloomington


The responsibility of curriculum internationalization does not rest solely on the faculty nor on the administration; rather internationalization should be defined, reinforced, and supported through a dialogue among faculty, administrators, and staff who are responsible for fostering, encouraging, and implementing global learning and teaching on campuses.  If you are faculty, staff, or administrator from a public or private university, research or liberal arts institute, community college, HBCU, TCCU, HSI and any other, you will:
  • Learn how to internationalize your curriculum and campus
  • Understand comprehensive internationalization and the importance of collaboration and dialogue
  • Identify innovative pedagogies, technologies, and best practices
  • Explore the teaching and assessment of global learning objectives
  • Examine strategic planning and measurements of institutional success
  • Become a member of a network of international educators and administrators and much more ...
All participants must join one of two tracks, for the entire institute, that best matches her or his objectives and interests [click track title for description]:

Internationalizing the Undergraduate Business Curriculum - 6th annual Summer Institute for International Education at Madison College

I'm reposting the following SECUSS-L post with the permission of Geoff Bradshaw as I think many IHEC Blog readers will find this professional development opportunity very interesting, rewarding and affordable!

June 16-17, 2011
Madison College
211 N. Carroll Street, Madison, WI

Join us for the 6th annual Summer Institute for International Education at Madison College.  The Summer Institute is a rich and rewarding opportunity for faculty to explore opportunities for the infusion of international content into their curricula. Hosted in vibrant downtown Madison, Wisconsin, this event brings together faculty participants from throughout the multistate region with expert presenters and panelists.  The institute will focus on sessions to help faculty include international units or modules in undergraduate and community
college courses, but anyone interested is encouraged to attend.

The theme for 2011 is “Internationalizing the Undergraduate Business Curriculum.”  The opening keynote address will be provided by Ulice Payne, Managing Member of Addison‑Clifton, LLC. Mr. Payne is an advisor regarding global trade compliance solutions and former CEO and president of the Milwaukee
Brewers.  Mr. Payne’s address will focus on why international competencies are a critical part of educating students for life and work in a globally connected community.

Day two will include an opening plenary on the pedagogy of teaching International Business, including examples of internationalized business courses by Sachin Tuli, Director of International Programs at the Wisconsin School of Business.  Additional speakers both days will include area studies scholars who will share information and trends about economics and business in their regions of scholarship, representatives
from business and industry who will discuss aspects of international trade and the key skills needed for entry into the arena of international business, and other content experts in the field.
