Committees
WSU’s Lab Leaders and subcommittees work in concert to reflect on WSU’s goals, values, and assets; develop and define a strategy for comprehensive internationalization; and design a means to assess our ongoing achievements. With support from American Council on Education (ACE), the WSU Internationalization Lab Leadership Committee and subcommittees are using diversity and inclusion, agility, and data-informed decision-making lenses to review current institutional activities related to internationalization in key areas.
Partnerships and student/scholar mobility
Expand partnerships that increase research capacity, diversify education and knowledge production, generate revenue, and raise WSU’s visibility. Make available a broad range of physical or virtual global educational opportunities and increase access to exchanges that provide a global perspective on teaching and research. Create an environment that makes WSU a preferred destination for talented students and scholars from all over the world.
