This course focuses on strategies and tactics to mobilize international and transnational alumni. The course has four major learning objectives and session themes: readiness assessment techniques, planning across the organization, virtual community engagement - techniques to engage global alumni communities, and writing a Global Alumni Relations 12-month project plan. 


This asynchronous course is designed for international education professionals, leaders, and future leaders needing tools and strategies for taking their institution to a higher level of crisis readiness and response. Through specific exercises, readings, and projects in this rigorous module, participants will push themselves and develop both leadership skills and practical approaches to implement in their own international education settings.

The course focuses on foreign credential evaluation in an enrollment management context. During the course we will examine the history of foreign credential evaluation in the United States, considering the purpose and process of comparative analysis of education systems. We will study a systematic approach to foreign credential evaluation and its application in various academic settings. We will also practice the practical application of these skills while exploring the impact of timely, accurate, and consistent credential evaluation policies.
