Summary <\/strong>The Office of International Affairs (OIA) was established in October 2012 to provide cultural collaborative initiatives that support TSU’s strategic goals in producing global leaders. At that time, TSU had 79 International students, 36 students participating in study abroad, and one faculty leading a study abroad experience. By October 2016, we grew to 900 International students with 130 students participating in study abroad experiences, 15 faculty leading study abroad experiences and four staff assisting in leading study abroad experiences, have MOU’s with 31 universities abroad.
\nThis session shares the strategic and tactical planning opportunities that exist between Study Abroad, MOU Management and International Student Recruitment. CI2: Cultural Immersion Initiative is OIA’s signature short term study abroad program. The Cultural Immersion Initiative is an intensive (10) day research, study and social international exchange activity. Universities abroad that have an agreement or MOU with TSU collaborate to develop a curriculum plan and research projects. CI2 is offered as a special topics course that students can take during breaks. The course is designed to provide students with an enriching cultural and academic exchange experience. Each student is paired with a student abroad and expected to participate in an intense research project aligned with a specific theme developed by faculty members from each school. We have developed a faculty friendly MOU and International Student recruitment module for our faculty and staff leading study abroad experiences.<\/p>\n

1.Introduce the American Council on Education (ACE) Model for Comprehensive Internationalization
\n2. Strategies and Tactics for Student and Faculty\/Staff Mobility
