Description
Book SynopsisEffective leadership for internationalization is necessary for higher education institutions to remain relevant within an increasingly interconnected and competitive global higher education landscape. While the formal titles and functions of senior international officers (SIOs) vary across institutions, these individuals have a legitimate authority stemming from their unique positions, skills, and expertise to lead internationalization initiatives in ways that support and sustain institutional values, goals, and priorities. This book offers a comprehensive look at SIOs' various roles and responsibilities across four major areas: strategy, administration, faculty and academics, and partnerships and outreach. The chapters are written by a diverse and experienced group of international education leaders, balancing leadership considerations with managerial concerns and offering insights for SIOs of all types and backgrounds.
Trade ReviewThis is an absolute treasure trove of useful insights, case studies, and resources for those charged with leading their university’s internationalization. It brings together experts from diverse institutions who identify and generously share the state of the art on all the key issues facing senior international officers and their colleagues. This impressive book is bound to do double duty for the busy SIO: it will be both a key reference work and a source of fresh ideas."" —Sue Roberts, associate provost for internationalization, University of Kentucky
