SUBCOMMITTEES

The success of the ACE Internationalization Lab was dependent on the work and input from the subcommittees. The subcommittees focused on gathering and analyzing data pertaining to either collaborative research programs; administrative leadership, structure and staffing; faculty policy and practice; curriculum, co-curriculum and learning outcomes; student engagement; or institutional collaboration and partnerships. These findings and recommendations were the primary sources for the recommendations made in the final report.
