[Submitted] Sept. 7, 2012 Yes - I am thrilled that KSU has incorporated internationalization as a piece of our Vision 2025 strategic action plan. It is vital to graduate our students equipped with the tools necessary to compete in a global marketplace. Other nations have been studying our American systems for generations and know much more about our society, education, culture than our own U S students. This plan sets the stage for how our university will internationalize the campus here and create an environment where globalization is embraced. Some of the short term goals will be met within the next 12 months and early immediate success will set the tone for visible international engagement. [General Comments?] I am pleased to be a part of an energized university environment that is creating an impressive plan to embrace and maximize international development.
Yes - 1) Create programming opportunities on campus that provide both domestic and international students discussion and access to a business community that is engaged internationally. On going discussions with business executives can serve to educate students on what international business expectations, work environments,and experiences are when discerning post university exploration. Additionally when students are abroad incorporate business engagement with U S businesses located in region of travel. 2) Develop consistant international materials that "tell our story". Most students do not know that KSU was the first to open a recruiting office in China and that we have almost 2,000 international students on campus.
