Dartmouth Strategic Planning :: Global Dartmouth

Global Dartmouth

Update

The Global Dartmouth working group includes three subcommittees: Global Students and Academic International Engagement; Global Faculty and International Research Efforts; Global Partnership and International Agreements
The working group focused internal outreach efforts on targeted interviews with faculty in all of the Arts & Sciences departments, representatives in the 3 professional schools, staff, and senior deans.
Extensive external research was conducted on the global engagement of peer institutions. The group has the opportunity to speak in person with Phil Geier from the United World Colleges and Leading Voices in Higher Education speaker Ben Wildavsky.

Overall Approach

The senior executive strategic planning advisory committee (SE-SPAC) and the faculty strategic planning advisory committee (F-SPAC) have jointly launched a working group focusing on the core aspects of Dartmouth’s international impact, reach and programs. Their goal is to look deeply into issues relating to the support, innovation and expansion of international activities needed to enhance Dartmouth’s leadership in higher education.

This working group will seek broad input from within and outside Dartmouth. They will examine trends, needs and opportunities that will be vital to ensuring Dartmouth’s leadership and engagement in an increasingly globalized world. Individual schools and departments will be asked by their deans and directors to engage in discussions focusing on departmental, divisional, and school-specific strengths and approaches to complement the more general conversation.

Goals

To provide an aspirational vision for international activities at Dartmouth, ensuring our prominence globally.

To develop recommendations for Dartmouth’s strategic plan, informed by data-driven assessment and broad engagement with the community.
