Internationalisation beyond the International Office

+ Many more people on campus dealing with Internationalisation+ An International Office is still relevant…..+ …..but greater role in coordination as well as management+ Role of International Director is to “marshal arguments, assemble delivery mechanisms and spend resources wisely across and beyond the university.” + In other words, to spend non-international budgets on internationalisation
