AUSTRALIA NOW PERCEIVED AS TOP DESTINATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
An article in the October 14, 2005 Chronicle of Higher Education highlights a recent survey by the British Council on the preferred choice in destination for international students. The article, “Foreign Students at Australian Collages Prefer them to British or American Competitors, Survey Finds” by David Cohen, claims that fee-paying foreign students now prefer Australia over all other higher educational destinations. In total 332 undergraduates from 10 leading Asian markets for higher education in the English-speaking developed world were surveyed as part of an on-going survey that has been conducted since 1997. In 2000, fewer than half of all international students in Australia regarded the country as a destination of choice over Britain or the United States. In 2005, however, 81% reported Australia as their first choice even with current inflation which makes it more expensive to study in Australia than the U.S.. In the last five years, Australia’s international-student numbers have doubled, to 200,000 at a time when enrollments in the United States are stagnating. Australia has, in general, emphasized international education as a national policy and have openly expressed their delight in welcoming international students. At the same time, these international students still see American institutions of higher learning as leading the world in the quality of both their teaching and research, but they also maintain “a widespread perception that the United States is simply not as welcoming as it once was.” As a result, they are choosing not to come to the United States, which is impacting each and every one of our colleges.

INMP Fall Workshop for
Internationalizing the Curriculum
International
Negotiations Module Project (INMP)
is an on-line simulation of international negotiation that
allows community college faculty from across the curriculum to
infuse an international perspective into their classes.
http://www.icons.umd.edu/inp/index.html
Students negotiate on a range of international issues selected
by the faculty members so that they can support the substance of
their classes. Each participating classroom adopts the role of
a different country and negotiates from the point of view of
that country. At the conclusion of the project, students will
be familiar with the culture, economy, history and politics of
other countries, the interrelationship of nations, the art of
negotiation, and with the Internet.
Since
1995, the INMP project has included community college faculty
from over 30 colleges nationwide and in disciplines ranging from
Art to Zoology. Faculty have given a very positive evaluation
to this project, noting that participation was a career-altering
experience. Many note that they will never be able to teach
their classes again without an international perspective.
Students also acknowledged that this was an exceptional learning
experience as they not only learn more about current issues and
negotiations in general, but that they become more aware of the
ways in which such issues affect them personally. The INMP
project gets students involved in active participation in
international education.
The INMP
Simulation is conducted each Spring Semester with a Fall
orientation workshop. At the Fall orientation workshop there is
a chance to talk about important international issues, have a
presentation by experts in the field, and meet with others who
will be involved in the Spring simulation. While there is a $
1,000 registration free for participation in the Spring
Simulation, the Fall workshop is free and open to everyone.
All CCIE faculty and
administrators are invited to a Free 2-day Fall orientation
workshop Friday, November 11 (9:00 - 5:00) & Saturday ,
November 12 (8:00 - 11:00) at Whittier College in Southern
California. Lunch
and a continental breakfast is included on both days. For
additional information, contact Rosalind

MEASURING INTERNATIONALIZATION
IN U.S. HIGHER EDUCATION
A new publication from
the American Council on Education funded by the Ford Foundation
examines the issues of how colleges and universities
internationalize their curricula and student experiences. In so
doing, the report defines basic strategies that are common among
institutions that are actively pursuing internationalization and
what distinguishes 'high activity' institutions from other
institutions. A special section on Community College has been
released that draws on data from two national surveys conducted
in 2001 and 2003. These surveys measure at community colleges,
internationalization across six key dimensions: articulated
commitment, academic offerings, organizational infrastructure,
external funding, institutional investment of faculty and
international students and student programs. Each publication
distinguished “high activity” institutions and presents examples
of successful internationalization strategies. The publication
is available in PDF but printed copies may be obtained by
contacting ACE’s International Initiatives at
cii@ace.nche.edu or
