Assessing Global Perspectives at a Hispanic and Minority Serving Institution: A University-Wide Effort

Abstract

Across the United States, colleges and universities are increasingly giving voice to campus internationalization. However, the benefits of this endeavor cannot be fully realized if institutions do not balance their efforts with deliberate and consistent assessment practices. This study examined the global worldviews of students, faculty, and administration/staff at a Hispanic and minority serving institution in Texas. Results indicating areas of global perspective strength and challenge for each group are highlighted. Strategies for campus internationalization that incorporate the perspectives of these groups are also discussed.
