The Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) now provides standards of practice for those who serve in Senior International Officer positions throughout higher education. Providing standards is one of the most important signs that a work area has "professionalized" with a body of knowledge and expected best practices for it to be effective.
It is gratifying that the first two of the twenty-one standards are; 1) comprehensive internationalization that impacts the three principal aims of the academy (teaching, research, and service) and 2) recognizes the centrality of the curriculum and co-corriculum in preparing students for participation in an increasingly interconnected, divers, and rapidly changing world.
Congratulations to AIEA for moving forward to advocate for approaches and practices that will help higher education be more effective in preparing their graduates for the world of the future.
