Today's workshop for the task force on internationalization was very interesting and I met several fascinating new people from the faculty and student body. One young man studying in France spent hours with us on Skype because he is so committed to foreign study for every student. A graduate student from Bemus Point had spent a J term in Belize and then completed her student teaching in Australia. Our subcommittee set the goal of increasing the number of short term international experiences for students, faculty and community members. We talked a lot about how to encourage staff to develop opportunities and how to reduce the cost to the participants. Other committees worked on other aspects of how to internationalize our campus. The work will continue till our deadline in April when we must offer an action plan to the provost and then to the faculty senate in May.
