INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS RESOURCES
Universities thrive when they actively engage in exchange of faculty, students, and ideas with institutions in other parts of the globe. International partnerships allow student mobility enhancing global learning for students. Overall, these partnerships can enhance the home school’s curriculum, increase brand awareness, and research collaboration. In addition, internationalization efforts can support and elevate a school’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

International Affairs MIG Forum - November 2022
In November, 15 international affairs leaders from 11 Collaborative member institutions in 10 countries attended forum in which they explored parallels between entrepreneurship and international education and identified opportunities to utilize the Collaborative network to advance shared goals. As a result of this meeting, and based on attendee input, we launched a new Member Interest Group (MIG) for international affairs leaders at member institutions.
