Mission

Mission Strategic Plan

• The University of Hawaii at Manoa is a
  globally-connected Hawaiian place of learning
  unlike any in the world. Ours is an academy of
  tremendous diversity, open to world cultures and
  scientific advancement. We occupy a prestigious
  place among the international community of
  research universities. Manoa is a place of
  inspiration, where artists, athletes, scientists
  and scholars gather and interact with intensity.
• . Together, we will become a model of
  innovation for the world to emulate, and for the
  people of Hawaii to revere.

UH Manoa Strategic Plan, 2002-2010

• The Strategic Plan charges us to vigorously
  recruit students from Asia and the Pacific and
  foster regional alumni relations, and to expand
  leadership in international affairs, emphasizing
  Hawaii, Asia, and the Pacific.

Mission WASC Proposal

• Nearly all of the units at Manoa have developed
  strengths in Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific
  studies, which has created an international
  reputation for the university.

Strengths and Challenges WASC Institutional
Proposal, 2006
8

• the realities of recent administrative
  reorganization, substantial enrollment growth,
  and simultaneous budget cuts have challenged the
  campus to maintain a focus on this Strategic
  plan. Indicators of where we stand includea
  continued lack of awareness among all campus
  stakeholders regarding Manoas local, national
  and international identity.

Theme 1 Building a Manoa Community in Support
of Student Success WASC Institutional Proposal,
2006
9

• A focus on global awareness and local
  responsibility.
• . The pluricultural children of Hawaii are
  global citizens, a true pan-ethnic population.
  Hence our pedagogical, social, and cultural
  environments should be infused with a global
  perspective, and with questions and issues of
  global significance. Moreover, engaging and
  acting upon local questions and issues during
  their educational experience at Manoa engenders
  in students a sense of responsibility toward
  future generations.

Values and Responsibilities WASC Institutional
Proposal, 2006
10

• Essential to the undergraduate Manoa Experience
  is the acquisition of knowledge and ability. A
  Manoa undergraduate should, by the time of
  graduation, have acquired a set of overarching
  (or core) competencies.
• Global and multicultural perspectives became
  the first hallmark of these competencies in the
  General Education Review by the Manoa faculty.

Administration Organizational History

• Support for international education at UHM had
  always been decentralized.
• The Office of International Programs and Services
  (OIPS) was organized in the late 1980s and
  operated under the Dean of the School Hawaiian,
  Asian and Pacific Studies (SHAPS), advised by the
  Council for International Studies and Programs.
• OIPS had no administrative links to the Office of
  International Student Services (ISS, formerly
  International Students Office, ISO) nor to the
  Study Abroad Center (SAC).
• In 1994, OIPS was reconstituted as the
  System-wide Office of International Affairs (OIA)
  with responsibilities for student recruitment,
  exchange agreements, and visa support under the
  Sr. Vice President for International Affairs,
  advised by the Presidents Committee on
  International Programs.

UHM Report on Best Practices in International
Education, 2003
13

• The System administrative re-organization of 2002
  made OIA the Office of International Education
  (OIE), under the Vice President for International
  Education. OIE was moved under the VP for
  Academic Planning and Policy after the Office of
  the VP for International Education was dissolved.
• In 2003, a Liaison for International Affairs
  was appointed to be the Chancellors
  representative and advisor on the coordination of
  international education, programs, services and
  policies for the campus.
• The Dean of SHAPS served in dual capacity as Dean
  and Liaison.

UHM Report on Best Practices in International
Education, 2003
14

• The previously organized Manoa International
  Education Committee became a Chancellor advisory
  group that worked closely with the appointed
  Liaison on advancing international initiatives
  for the campus.
• An International Exchange Coordinator was hired
  for UHM in fall 2004 in order to transfer all
  Manoa exchange agreements from the UH System OIE
  to Manoa control.
• The BOR-approved Chancellors Office
  reorganization in 2005 formerly established
  Manoas own international office, the Office of
  International and Exchange Programs (OIEP),
  headed by an Assistant Vice Chancellor reporting
  to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
• OIEP brought together the Office of International
  Student Services (ISS), the Study Abroad Center
  (SAC), International Exchange, and National
  Student Exchange.

15

• By summer 2005, all Manoa exchange agreements,
  formerly overseen by the UH System OIE Exchange
  Coordinator, were brought under the supervision
  of UHMs own Exchange Coordinator.
• In February 2006, a 2-person consultant team was
  hired to review UHMs international programs and
  services.
• By fall 2006, UHM officially appointed its
  Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor for
  International and Exchange Programs in place of
  the Liaison for International Affairs. It
  remained, however, the dual role of the Dean of
  SHAPS.
• Faculty and Scholar Immigration Services, once
  housed at OIE, will become a part of Manoas
  OIEP, but still provide System-wide services,
  further expanding UHMs international office.

Assistant Vice Chancellor for International and
Exchange Programs
The Assistant Vice Chancellor is the university's
chief international education officer and the
principal advisor to the Chancellor and Vice
Chancellor on all matters pertaining to
international education as they relate to the
university. This office advocates, supports and
facilitates the functions of international
education, and promotes international
opportunities and activities both on campus and
overseas. In consultation with the Manoa
International Education Committee, administrators
and the campus community, this office provides
the international vision for the university,
guides relevant policies, and expands the
universitys international presence and

International Student Services
International Student Services (ISS) provides
assistance to approximately 1,800 international
students who come from more than 90 countries to
study at UH Manoa. The ISS advises students on
regulations affecting their non-immigrant visa
status in the U.S., provides opportunities to
help students adjust to the local and U.S.
cultures by working closely with the
International Student Association, and serves as
the office responsible for meeting international
student federal compliance mandates. Linda
Duckworth, Director
20
Faculty and Scholar Immigration Services
The Office of Faculty and Scholar Immigration
Services (FSIS) provides UH System-wide
immigration and support services for
international employees and administers the
Exchange Visitor Program for all J-1 categories,
except for UH Manoa students. FSIS serves as a
central resource for advising, assisting, and
disseminating immigration information to
international employees and scholars. It
maintains a central immigration database of
UH-sponsored international faculty, researchers,
professional/technical staff, and scholars, from
which it generates internal and external reports.
FSIS reviews and updates UH immigration policies
and procedures and serves as a liaison between UH
and federal agencies on immigration
matters. Linda Hamada, Coordinator
21
Study Abroad Center
The Study Abroad Center (SAC) collaborates with
various UH Manoa academic departments to provide
opportunities for students to study, and faculty
members to teach and conduct research, in another
country. SAC programs are offered for a summer
term, a semester, or an academic year. Students
earn UHM credits for course work completed
abroad, which may be used to fulfill certain
education requirements, and which will appear on
transcripts as UHM courses. Faculty members have
opportunities to develop courses and publications
based on their overseas experiences, and those
who lead study abroad programs have a wide range
of responsibilities in their capacity as
in-country resident directors. Sarita Rai,
Director
22
International Exchange
International Exchange provides an opportunity
for UHM students to study overseas and students
from our overseas partner universities to study
at Manoa. An international exchange may be for
one or two semesters some summer exchange
programs are also available. Participating
students are registered as full-time UHM students
while on exchange, and pay only their normal
tuition. Upon completing the exchange, students
receive transfer credit based on an evaluation of
the transcript provided by the host university.
Darrell Kicker, Coordinator
23
National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange provides full-time
undergraduates with the opportunity to study for
a semester or a year at one of 190 colleges and
universities located throughout the Continental
U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin
Islands. Tuition costs for exchange students are
reasonable since participants pay either UH Manoa
tuition or resident tuition at the host school.
Room, board, and transportation costs are
additional. For those who meet the eligibility
requirements (including a minimum cumulative GPA
of 2.5), exchange is an excellent way to explore
different academic, social, and cultural
settings. Sandy Davis, Coordinator

Value Current Trends

• Global demand for higher education is forecast to
  increase from 97 million in 2000 to 263 million
  in 2025.

• Higher education capacity is not sufficient in
  those regions that will experience the most
  substantial population growth over the next 20
  years.

Tapping the Global Student Market JoAnn
McCarthy, Assistant Provost for International
Education University of Pennsylvania
26

• Demand will be fueled by countries with rapidly
  expanding populations and economies such as China
  and India.
• China and India will account for more than half
  of the global demand for international higher
  education by 2025.
• Concurrently, Japan, Russia and many Western
  European countries will see a decline in domestic
  demand for higher education.

Tapping the Global Student Market JoAnn
McCarthy, Assistant Provost for International
Education University of Pennsylvania
27

• Growing regionalism is causing many students to
  travel to countries within their region to attain
  higher education.
• Alternative delivery systems and evolving
  technology is innovating the way higher education
  is being provided across borders.

Tapping the Global Student Market JoAnn
McCarthy, Assistant Provost for International
Education University of Pennsylvania
28

• The market is becoming increasingly competitive
  with some national governments aggressively
  supporting higher education.
• Accreditation is going global.
• Consumers are becoming more informed and
  value-conscious. Brand names are not the only
  viable options anymore. Students may be looking
  for economic alternatives.

Value The Economy

• Foreign graduate students, particularly those
  who study science or engineering, are a boon to
  the American economy and education system. They
  are critical to the United States technological
  leadership in the world economyfor every 100
  international students who receive science or
  engineering PhDs from American universities, the
  nation gains 62 future patent applications.
  About one-third of Americas engineering
  professors are foreign-born.

New York Times, 2005

• The US Department of Commerce rates American
  higher education as the countrys fifth largest
  export.
• Foreign students and their dependents contributed
  approximately 13.49 billion to the US economy
  during the 2005-2006 AY.
• For Hawaii, the net contribution to the State
  economy was 108.4 million.

31

• Net contribution from UHM international students
  and their dependents was an estimated 26.17
  million.
• Gross contribution was 50.3 million highest in
  the state.
• US support for foreign students through UHM was
  46 of gross highest in the state.

NOTE The above figures do not include foreign
visiting scholars, foreign faculty/staff,
exchange students, and international visitors
participating in short-term non-credit programs.

• UHM Research funding for FY 2005 brought in 7.1
  million from non-US sources.
• US Agency for International Development (USAID)
  provided an additional 2.8 million in funding
  for UHM projects.
• Federal grants for scholarships, faculty and
  curriculum development in Asian and Pacific
  Studies bring in more money to the State of
  Hawaii. For example, Title VI National Resource
  Centers bring in nearly 6 million over a four
  year cycle.

• The excellence of UHM programs bring in many
  private sources of funding, such as the 1
  million from The Korea Foundation to the Center
  for Korean studies
• the 1 million from the Urasenke Foundation to
  the Center for Japanese Studies
• the Freeman Foundation fully-funded 2006 summer
  study tour tracing the route of King Kalakauas
  journey throughout Asia
• and many other private donations

  Americans believe it is important to ensure that
  future generations have the skills and knowledge
  needed for a more interconnected world.
• 92 agree that knowledge of foreign languages
  enhances job competitiveness for future
  generations.

• more governments see the rapid expansion of
  higher education as a key element in their
  transition from developing to developed
  countries.
• our nations future hinges significantly on the
  international competence of our citizens and
  that, in this day and age, to be fully educated
  is to be educated internationally.
• The challenges of the new millennium are
  unquestionably global in nature. This reality
  imposes a new and urgent demand on Americans, one
  this country has been all too quick to ignore
  international knowledge and skills are imperative
  for the future security and competitiveness of
  the United States.

Value Cultural Understanding

• International polls document a plunge in US
  prestige abroad.
• International students bring a huge and valuable
  dimension to America.
• Bringing international students and scholars to
  the United States promotes US foreign policy and
  international leadership. They enrich their
  institutions and enable American students to have
  contact with other cultures and ways fo
  thinking.

• Clearly, we need to use education to advance
  tolerance and understanding. Perhaps more than
  ever, international understanding is essential to
  world peace -- understanding between faiths,
  between nations, between cultures.
• . Globalization, migration, economic
  integration, communication and travel are
  bringing different races, cultures and
  ethnicities into ever closer contact with each
  other. More than ever before, people understand
  that they are being shaped by many cultures and
  influences, and that combining the familiar with
  the foreign can be a source of powerful knowledge
  and insight.
• . We must work to prevent intolerance from
  taking hold in the next generation. We must build
  on the open-mindedness of young people, and
  ensure that their minds remain open.
