ISE Mission, Vision, & Goals

Our Mission

Internationalizing the Student Experience (ISE) seeks to advance internationalization at Michigan State University by integrating global perspectives into the institution’s identity thereby providing opportunities for all MSU community members to increase their capacity to engage effectively in a global society.

Our Vision

All members of the MSU community—students, faculty, administrators, staff, and stakeholders—will recognize, value and act upon the idea that being a Spartan means living, working, and learning as global citizens in the 21st-Century.

Our Goals

Internationalization is an evolving process; however, at its core, Internationalizing the Student Experiences has the following primary goals:

• To make internationalization integral to all aspects of the institution.
• To prepare and support graduates as global citizens able to contribute personally and professionally to the world.
• To promote connections among curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular initiatives as a means of fostering individual, group, and institutional learning.

Our Work

We will implement our mission toward the achievement of our goals by:

• Providing high quality communication and outreach products and services  to both on and off campus communities;
• Networking and liaising with appropriate partners and stakeholders;
• Supporting initiatives that advance the ISE goals for both on and off campus communities;
• Facilitating and implementing curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular linkages and programming; and
• Assessing, researching, and publicizing our efforts.
