Unclear who at the University is responsible for international activities and priorities. Also unclear of all the international activities currently under way. Only two Jefferson Scholarships available to international students. Lack of financial aid means most are from wealthiest families, unrepresentative of larger international picture.
Students returning from study abroad feel adrift and changed by their experience.
Their academic programs often take little advantage of their international experience to benefit the students who did not go abroad. In their role as advisers, faculty can encourage students to do foreign study. Faculty who do not have international experiences themselves are less likely to support their students going abroad. No central coordination of partnerships between institutions and programs abroad. Such partnerships currently are developed by individual faculty and schools for purposes of research, exchanges, and educational resource sharing.
