NAFSA Executive Internationalization Leadership e-Institute

The NAFSA Executive Internationalization Leadership e-Institute (e-Institute) provides executive-level internationalization leadership training for international education professionals responsible for implementing internationalization at their institutions. The program is designed for leaders with more than three years of experience who are currently in an internationalization leadership role at institutions of higher education in the United States and around the world.

The e-Institute is presented by the most experienced team of NAFSA Program Faculty–all global campus internationalization experts. Our faculty have managed internationalization initiatives, published extensively, and presented at numerous workshops, forums, and conferences. Participants will be able to link theory to practice. Individualized coaching and assistance will enable each participant to develop success strategies unique to their needs.

Applications for the 2024-25 cohort are now closed. The next application cycle for the 2025-26 cohort will open in Spring 2025.

e-Institute Participant Testimonials

 

"Being able to tap into the incredible expertise of our knowledgeable and generous faculty while engaged in this thinking is an opportunity I’ll long appreciate."

"I started the e-Institute thinking that it would be a training course, but I soon saw that a new world had opened up. It's not just a course, but access to activities and connections that only NAFSA offers."

"Each aspect of the e-Institute has been designed to ensure that participants gain new skills, knowledge, and competencies that serve the comprehensive and strategic internationalization of their institution."

"I closed several of my own knowledge gaps and I applied the program resources directly to real day-to-day situations that my team and I were encountering."
