The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies is moving forward with a Strategic Internationalization Plan (SIP).
Under the leadership of LA&PS Associate Dean Narda Razack, Global & Community Engagement, a committee will examine four major themes for the strategy: mobility, global research, international students, partnerships, pedagogy and curriculum. The committee's goal is to produce an inclusive, innovative and comprehensive internationalization plan to recognize diverse realities.
According to Razack, SIP is laying the foundation for the future as "globalization has become an imperative to deepen our knowledge of the international dimension of education in pedagogy, research and critical practice."
LA&PS, in cooperation with York University's internationalization mandate, will be taking the lead in developing a global education strategy to encourage meaningful international engagement for its students. The SIP committee's goal is to enhance students' development of global, international and cultural knowledge by providing a comprehensive approach for global learning. SIP aims to ensure that graduates will have enhanced global perspectives and be more knowledgeable about their role as global citizens in an increasingly interconnected world. The plan will provide an integrated platform through a variety of learning experiences on and off campus.
