UD’s ACE Committee will further develop these goals when they begin meeting in Fall 2019. The UD project will:
- Initiate a University-wide strategic planning process guided by ACE’s expertise to strengthen international programming and extend the institution’s global footprint;
- Develop strategies to ensure that the University’s internationalization efforts encompass a wide range of countries and cultures;
- Create an action plan and formulate recommendations to infuse international and comparative perspectives throughout UD’s teaching, research and service;
- Engage a diverse group of stakeholders in the internationalization dialogue to ensure that efforts are embraced throughout the campus;
- Establish a more coherent presence for all things international at UD and more accurately track global activities;
- Emphasize internationalization as a core component in support of all UD’s presidential priorities and develop strategies to increase international exposure for all members of the campus community;
- Collect data and benchmark findings with peer institutions to get a better understanding of UD’s international activities; and
- Support UD’s international enrollment marketing plan aimed at prospective international students.
