This year, with sponsorship from Provost Bichelmeyer, KU has been selected to participate with 9 other universities across the nation and world in an innovative “internationalization lab”. The lab is a program to help us learn from peer institutions and engage our faculty, students and staff in focused conversations to develop a coordinated framework that aligns our international interests and capacities and fully integrates internationalization into the work of fulfilling KU’s mission. The resulting plan of action from the lab will fundamentally shape KU’s international profile and reach for decades to come. 

As part of a self-study, the KU lab is conducting a review of how the university supports faculty members and their international activity on campus. The questionnaire that follows will help us understand your work in the international education space, the forms of support you have received in your work, and some of the challenges you have faced.  We are also interested in hearing your ideas for how KU can improve its support for faculty engagement in international work.

Please think broadly, as international activity may include supporting our international community members, or it may include efforts to bring the world into our classrooms, curricula, research groups, and laboratories. This is an inventory and we are here to listen, learn, and document your efforts. Your responses are anonymous and no names will be included in any reporting. Thank you for your time!

We estimate that this survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
