In an Inside Higher Education essay Patti McGill Peterson who guided ACE's Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement from 2011-16 offers sobering advice to those who advocate for internationalization in higher education. She links internationalization to the opportunity of redefining patriotism in the 21st century by saying, "Rather than national pride and loyalty leading to xenophobia, we have an opportunity and an obligation to widen the discussion and to present patriotism in a very different light as part of our advocacy for internationalization. We will need to show that patriots of the best stripe see global connection and cooperation as essential to our national welfare."
