Format: Hybrid

Program Type: Summit

Summits are one- to two-day virtual, in-person, or hybrid events centered on a particular theme. They provide insights, practical advice, and collaborative solutions from national and regional experts, leaders, and practitioners. Summit themes address issues and challenges that are broad in scope, require campus-wide approaches, and involve an array of stakeholders.

​Mobilizing Synergies Between Internationalization and DEI

For the past year, campus internationalization and DEI leaders have convened in an ACE community of practice to develop actionable strategies and programs that further equity, promote intercultural understanding, and foster belonging in a diverse campus community.  This year’s Internationalization Collaborative will highlight the initiatives these thought leaders developed and implemented, explore successes and challenges, and examine tangible outcomes and next steps.  

In truly “collaborative” spirit, participants will be invited to workshop their own ideas and initiatives, and receive feedback and advice from campus executives on strategies for implementation.  The work of this year’s Collaborative will inform an update to ACE’s 2008 publication, At Home in the World (PDF).

Format and Location

The Collaborative will take place virtually, however participants attending the AIEA conference in New Orleans will have the opportunity to convene in-person for the event. Please note the event begins at 10:00 a.m. ET, but 9:00 a.m. CT for in-person attendees. Please check your time zone to verify the correct start time in your location.
