Resources for International Recruiting
International recruiting is an activity with broad appeal to U.S. educational institutions. Among its many benefits are internationalization of the campus and curriculum in an increasingly interdependent world, and increased revenues for the institution. Recruiting can be approached in a variety of ways, from employing strategies that do not require you to leave campus (frequently referred to as “armchair recruitment”), to traveling abroad to recruit students, develop contacts, and work with a variety of international constituents. Which approach you choose will depend on the particulars of your institution and the outcomes you seek.
