Greetings from Iowa City
We hope you've had a great start to 2018! All of us in International Programs wish you health and happiness in the new year.
As you know, internationalization is a core commitment at the University of Iowa. Here are a few quick facts about the university's achievements in internationalization.
In 2017, the University of Iowa
- received the 2017 Senator Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization, as one of only two research-intensive universities nationwide to be so honored
- awarded over 1,000 degrees and certificates to international students
- was home to 4011 international students from 118 different countries
- sent 1068 UI students to study abroad in 70 different countries (most recent data from academic year 2015-16)
- hosted 10 international alumni events (see the map below)
- hosted a series of pre-departure orientation webinars worldwide and on-site events in China, connecting with hundreds of prospective and incoming students and their parents virtually and in person
- was again named a "top producer" of U.S. Fulbright students by the Chronicle of Higher Education with 16 awardees
- assisted UI faculty and staff in identifying and pursing internal and external funding opportunities to support international research and projects
- reached over 6,500 active members on international social media platforms
- produced graduation ceremonies with commentary in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, and Farsi
University of Iowa alumni live around the world and we want to stay connected with you. Let us know if you change your address or email - and share the good news if you get a promotion or have other accomplishments to celebrate!
All the best in the new year!
