Over the past 30 years, the commitment, creativity, and determination of institutions and individuals within the ISEP Network have turned dreams into reality for over 34,000 students worldwide, many of whom may not have had access to international education otherwise.

Although there have been times of uncertainty over the course of its history, particularly in 1997 when government funding ended, ISEP continues to flourish as a comprehensive Mary Anne Grant international education organization serving over 300 member institutions in a President and CEO growing number of ways. When I joined ISEP in 1981, I was responsible for placing all ISEP 300 students in reciprocal exchanges among fewer than 75 institutions. Today, over 2,600 students annually participate in reciprocal ISEP-Exchanges, fee-paid ISEP-Direct programs, short-term study options, and a budding number of service learning and internship opportunities.

Although national trends show that only five US states hosted 43% of incoming international students, ISEP fosters international student diversity at nearly 150 campuses throughout 45 states. A well-tested model combining ISEP-Exchange and ISEP-Direct enrollments in Ghana has also provided scholarships for 44 Ghanaian faculty and staff to pursue graduate study in the United States. A similar program operates in Costa Rica, and others are under development. Additionally, campus representatives meet regularly for professional development and training programs during gatherings of the ISEP Network at conferences, symposia, study tours, and workshops.

Because member recognize that the benefits of participating in a global network allows them to do more collectively than individually, ISEP is constantly expanding, providing access to a diverse range of academic partners for all members. US universities connect with over 150 institutions abroad in 42 countries. International members connect with nearly 150 US colleges and universities as well as gain access to institutions in many other countries through International-to-International linkages.

This 30th anniversary year is a celebration of ISEP’s collaborative model—our voices and vision—that has become so integral to strengthening and expanding access to international education for many campuses. We welcome you to the ISEP Network and this annual report highlighting our accomplishments of the past year.

2 Voices&Vision in International Education Message from the Board Chair

In 1979, I returned from a year as a Fulbright lecturer in Japan, an experience that ignited my lifelong interest in international education. That same year, ISEP began with only 28 students from seven institutions. Today, the ISEP Network is 300 members strong in 42 countries.

For nearly 30 years I have had the opportunity to observe ISEP from different perspectives at four member universities: as international program director, department Blaine A. Brownell Chair, 2007–2011 chair, dean, graduate dean, provost, and president. Throughout this time I have admired ISEP Board of Directors ISEP’s goals and values, which are reflected in the dedication of ISEP Coordinators and staff who work hard to ensure that all ISEP students have an experience of a lifetime.

I also have many gratifying memories of ISEP students, such as the undergraduate from Colombia who, placed in a second-year medical school program with no patient contact allowed, more than held his own; and the American student who, through close supervision and individual study, completed a full year of academic credit in Ghana despite the faculty officially being on strike. These are just two examples of how the ISEP Network has always provided students with unique experiences and personal attention, which are the foundation for ISEP’s efforts to broaden its reach as a significant global resource for international education.

The ISEP Board of Directors is cognizant of both this proud history and the enormous potential for future service. It is committed to working with ISEP management to identify new and appropriate ways for the organization to respond to expanding member institution needs to prepare students for success in a global, multicultural environment. This will require innovative approaches and a willingness to experiment with new possibilities—but always to further the values and strengths that have defined ISEP over the last 30 years as a unique organization. The Board invites your support and your comments.

6 Voices&Vision in International Education AMBASSADOR OF THE YEAR Winner ISEP recognizes David Kirk of Edinburgh Napier University, who went to Bellarmine University, USA, as the 2008–09 Ambassador of the Year. “We have increased the number of ISEP applications quite significantly this year, and I believe this is in a big way directly related to Dave’s outstanding efforts,” commended his ISEP Coordinator, Claire Hope. David notes, “The role of Ambassador has challenged my time management skills, public speaking ability, and event management skills to name just a few. It has developed me as an individual and I am excited to continue promoting ISEP and encouraging my fellow students to study abroad in the future.”

ISEP Ambassador Program The ISEP Ambassador program is in its third year and has grown to over 200 participants. Ambassadors assist with a variety of tasks: volunteering in the international office, welcoming incoming students, recruiting outbound students, promoting ISEP at study abroad fairs, and participating in the ISEP Facebook group.

I’m so happy that I am an ISEP Ambassador this semester, and I receives the ISEP Ambassador of the Year award. thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to participate.”

Service Learning Initiatives Volunteering or service learning opportunities at many ISEP universities provide unique insight and integration into the host culture. For example, ISEP participants at Willamette University, USA, can volunteer in the local community by sharing their language and culture at public school presentations. This innovative program, Language in Motion, is now in its third year of operation and has grown to over 60 classroom visits in the past semester. International students and study abroad alumni join in the opportunity to reflect on their cultural experiences and bring global diversity into local

classrooms. Language in Motion: Jan Taborsky shares his experiences from France and the Czech Republic with public school children in Salem, Oregon. He writes, “I seek to be a role model for children who don’t get a chance to travel.”
