2006 Conference Workshops


1. Workshop IV: What Every CIEA needs to know about International Enrollment Management
Presenter: Stephen Shaw (SOLE PRESENTER), Director of International Admissions, University at Buffalo

Description: With recent reports showing continued declines of international students in the U.S., the need for information about the causes and ideas for solutions is critical. This interactive workshop will focus on three major topics: (1) international student mobility patterns and market trends, (2) the basics of how to develop an international enrollment management plan, and (3) how to make these plans and their implementation more strategic and proactive. The overarching theme for the workshop will be that CIEA’s play a key role in their institution’s success in reaching and maintaining international enrollment targets; thus, each of the topics will be framed within a discussion of the roles that CIEA’s play vis-à-vis institutional policymakers and stakeholders.

Methodologies and Format: This four-hour workshop will utilize a combination of “workshopping” techniques: presentation with PowerPoint, round-table discussions, mini case studies, and brainstorming and feedback.

Expected Outcomes: Participants will come away with information and statistics about international student mobility patterns to the U.S. and current market trends; they will leave with the basic knowledge of how to develop a strategic international enrollment management plan; and they will leave with ideas and strategies for shaping and influencing an institutional discussion about these topics. 

Scheduled for: Wednesday, February 22, 8:30 – 12:30

2. Workshop III: Assessing International Learning

Presenters:
Barbara Hill (CHAIR & PRESENTER), Senior Associate, American Council on Education

Joseph L. Brockington, Ph.D, (PRESENTER) Associate Provost for International Programs, Kalamazoo College

Dan Paracka, Ph.D, (PRESENTER), Director, Office of International Services and Programs; Kennesaw State University

Lee Sternberger, Ph.D (PRESENTER), Executive Director, Office of International Programs; James Madison University

Brian Whalen, Ph.D. (PRESENTER), Associate Dean of the College and Executive Director of the Office of Global Education; Dickinson College

Description: This pre-conference workshop will introduce participants to the learning outcomes and assessment cycle and offer lessons learned from several American Council on Education projects that feature assessing international learning.

Scheduled for: Wednesday, February 22, 3-6pm

3. Workshop I: The CIEA and the International Classroom

Presenter: Peggy Pusch, Associate Director of the Intercultural Communication Institute (Portland, OR)

Description: This workshop is designed to consider three things: (1) How chief international officers can influence faculty to use methods that draw in the international student and draw on his or her experience. (2) The dominant teaching and classroom management styles in the American classroom and how this prevents international students from being full participants and also from making contributions to the learning process. (3) Ways in which the classroom can draw on the richness of the experience of diverse students. Video, discussion, and brief presentations will be used in this workshop as we consider methods that are more inclusive and contribute to the learning process of all students.

Scheduled for: Thursday, February 23, 8:30-11:30 a.m.

4. Workshop II: CIEA 201

Presenters:

It will deal with the various aspects of internationalization of a campus and the political, leadership, and managerial roles that a CIEA plays in them.
Scheduled for: Thursday, February 23, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

5. Workshop V: Easier Said Than Done: Creating and IMPLEMENTING a Successful International Strategic Plan.
