Throughout the Winter 2019 quarter, in addition to carrying out in-person visits with each department, the ACE iLab steering committee is soliciting feedback from Department Chairs via this follow-up questionnaire to gather more detailed information about each department’s approach to internationalization efforts past and current, successes and aspirations in these areas, and any perceived barriers to future expansion of efforts.
