Strategic Plan for Comprehensive
Internationalization, May 2011
This report documents progress during Academic Year 2013 on the major recommendations identified in the Strategic Plan for
Comprehensive Internationalization. The SPCI was developed over a 16-month period in 2009-2010 and involved more than 80
faculty and staff in the process for developing the key recommendations. As adopted by TU in May 2011, the SPCI identified
six strategic recommendations for successfully promoting comprehensive internationalization, as follows:
Establish centralized leadership for TU’s internationalization plan
Develop international activities that support the university’s leadership with interdisciplinary initiatives
Deepen university programs in strategic geographic regions
Enhance recruitment of international students
Create programs that will support TU’s activities to competitively recruit top academic students
Infrastructure issues
The SPCI is a guide for TU’s international activities and continues to evolve to reflect changes in the campus, national, and
international environment. This report reviews internationalization initiatives as related to the strategic plan, and summarizes
the international teaching, research, service, and programs conducted by faculty and staff that, while not directly a result of
the SPCI, reflect the diverse and robust international activities of the university.
A vision for TU as an internationalized institution
As reflected in its mission statement, The University of Tulsa
educates “men and women of diverse backgrounds and
cultures” to “welcome the responsibility of citizenship and
service in a changing world.” As part of this mission, TU
has identified internationalization as an institutional priority.
It should be noted that in this context, internationalization
is defined as “the process of integrating an international,
intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose,
functions, or delivery of post-secondary education.”
Internationalization initiatives already flourish throughout
the campus: The university is home to a diverse international
population of students and faculty; students are choosing to
study abroad in record numbers; and faculty are developing
international research and teaching collaborations that
advance their scholarship in important ways.
In order to remain competitive, however, the faculty, staff,
and students of the university must change the ways we
engage with the global community, both outside the borders
of the U.S., as well as on our own campus. As it continues
on this path, the university has committed to the ideal that

this international, intercultural, and global dimension will
permeate all aspects of the institution.
Internationalization will provide both direct and indirect
benefits for The University of Tulsa and for the greater
Tulsa community. The successful internationalization of
the university will be marked by the development of a
more collaborative faculty and staff and the emergence of
a more globally aware and engaged student body. Direct,
tangible benefits include the ability to attract and retain
higher-caliber students and faculty and to prepare them to
be more competitive for external funding. Another benefit
of internationalization is the cultivation of a student body
prepared for the realities of a changing world. Finally, with
more focus on internationalization, the university situates
itself to provide leadership in local, national, and global
communities on crucial questions facing world societies
today, especially as related to some of the university’s key
interdisciplinary initiatives such as energy, technology and
the environment, cybersecurity, indigenous populations,
community health, and entrepreneurship.

Develop International Activities that Support
the University’s Leadership with
Interdisciplinary Initiatives
“The University provides leadership in local, national, and global communities on crucial questions
facing world societies today, as related to the University’s key interdisciplinary initiatives: energy,
technology and the environment; cybersecurity; indigenous populations; community health; and
entrepreneurship. Each of these areas is inherently global: it both influences and is influenced by
government, politics, and economies in other countries. We see opportunities for TU to develop
distinctive programs that position us to address global issues.” SPCI, Recommendation #2
Faculty Internationalization Grants (FIG): The ILC awarded $40,000 for grants to support activities related to
the improved internationalization of the curriculum, the development or set-up of international experiences (creditbearing or noncredit-bearing) for students and faculty, international research projects, and other projects related to
the SPCI. Faculty members were invited to submit proposals to support projects related to curriculum development,
interdisciplinary collaborations, and strategic partnerships.
Internationalization Leadership Council
The ILC includes representation from each college and the Division of Enrollment Management and Student
Services. The members of the ILC have specific responsibility to serve as the ‘internationalization liaison’ for their
respective colleges or division; to award the Faculty Internationalization Grants; and to review proposals for new
academic partnerships. The ILC members have also assumed key leadership positions with the projects described in
this report and implemented as part of the SPCI. Members of the ILC were nominated by their respective dean or
vice president for terms of 2 years (renewable for 1 term) or 3 years (non-renewing).

LL.M. degree in American Law with a concentration in Sustainable Energy & Resources Law: The Master of
Laws (LLM) in American Law for Foreign Lawyers with an “Energy Law” concentration was announced in January 2012
and formally launched in the 2012-13 academic year. One foreign lawyer from Nigeria matriculated in fall 2012; and in
a special 2013 spring admission cycle, three more students from Nigeria and Venezuela entered the program. The energy
law program’s first LLM graduate, Dennis Otiotio, is now pursuing his Ph.D. degree in oil & gas law at The University of
Aberdeen, Scotland. During the course of this first year, the law school signed two formal agreements and MOUs with two
foreign university partners, the China University of Geosciences and Beijing Normal University, to facilitate their students’
applications in the energy law program. The agreements also facilitated faculty exchanges between the institutions, and two
visiting scholars from the Geosciences University are in residence at the law school during the 2013-14 academic year. In fall
2013, five students from Germany, Nigeria, and the Ivory Coast matriculated.
Deepen University Programs in Strategic
Geographic Regions
“Deepen TU’s concentration in Asia and Southeast Asia: In the last five years, the University has invested
in academic programs and partnerships in Asia at the same time as enrollments of students from this
region have increased.” SPCI, Recommendation #3
TU Alumni at launch of alumni club in Bangalore, India.
The TU delegation included Dr. Cheryl Matherly (Center for
Global Education); Dr. Kalpana Misra (College of A&S); Dr.
Sandip Sen (Computer Science); Dr. Akhilesh Bajaj (MIS);
Prof. Sam Halabi (Law); John Bury (Graduate School); and
Amy Freiberger (Alumni Affairs).
India: The internationalization strategic plan specifically
calls for TU to develop a long-term strategy for becoming
an active player in the Indian higher education market. A
small delegation of TU staff and faculty, all members of the
India Working Group, traveled to India in March 2013 to
explore specific opportunities for cooperation with current
and prospective partner institutions and launch the first
TU International Alumni Club. The delegation met with
representatives from the Institute for International Education,
the University of Delhi, Lady Shri Ram College (Delhi),
Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Vishwakarma Institute
of Technology, the National Law School of India University
Bangalore, Infosys and Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University.
The delegation also hosted university receptions in Delhi,
Pune, and Bangalore, where the TU Alumni Club was officially
launched.
Following this trip to India, TU is pursuing a three-pronged
strategy for partnering in India: develop partnerships that
assist with building institutional capacity at Indian institutions;
identify programs that encourage student mobility; and establish
procedures for supporting individual faculty collaborations with
institutions related to their own scholarship.
China: TU continues to explore opportunities to deepen and strengthen existing partnerships with Chinese institutions,
specifically the China University of Petroleum Beijing. The fifth cohort of students participating in the undergraduate dualdegree program with petroleum engineering, geosciences, chemical engineering, and finance/accounting arrived at TU in
June 2013. Including this cohort, 60 students have been selected for this program since the agreement was signed in 2009.
The College of Law signed an agreement with Beijing Normal University and the China University of Geosciences for cooperation with
the LL.M. degree in American Law with a concentration in Sustainable Energy & Resources Law. The College of Law is hosting two
visiting scholars from the Geosciences University in Fall 2013 under the terms of this agreement. Dean Janet Levit is shown following
the signing ceremony with representatives from Beijing Normal University.
“Establish a strategic focus on the Americas: TU’s agreement to assume management and stewardship
of the Gilcrease Museum creates an opportunity to establish a coherent strategic focus on the Americas,
from Argentina to Canada and including a specific focus on Native American tribes. Such a focus would
enhance existing academic programs (anthropology, history, museum science) and build on the large
Spanish language programs.” SPCI, Recommendation #3
Brazil: TU joined the International Academic Partnerships Program –Brazil, sponsored by the Institute for International
Education (IIE), in order to deepen involvement with Brazil in two areas that figure among the university’s strategic
interdisciplinary initiatives: energy and entrepreneurship. Dr. Bruce Willis chaired a Brazil Working Group that examined
opportunities for partnership with Brazilian institutions. In the fields of energy, technology, and the environment, the Working
Group recommended strategies for building on a history of educating Brazilian petroleum engineers, many of whom are
now in senior positions with Petrobras and related companies; and by forging stronger research and instruction alliances with
one or more Brazilian institutes in the Rio de Janeiro area, hub of Brazil’s pioneering pre-salt petroleum industry. Regarding
entrepreneurship, the group sought to build on the interdisciplinary International Business and Language program and
expand the university’s Portuguese language instruction (in place since 2005) by partnering with a Brazilian university for
language and business-related exchange or perhaps a dual degree program. Willis, Dr. Mauricio Prado from petroleum
engineering, and Dr. Cheryl Matherly traveled to Brazil in May 2013 as part of an IIE sponsored study tour to meet with
Brazilian partner universities.
As one outcome of participation with the IAPP-Brazil, TU is host to its first Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant
in Portuguese. Mayara Tsuchida Zanfra is developing programs to increase interest in Brazilian culture and Portuguese
language. TU continues to receive students through the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (formerly Science Without
Borders).

“From its earliest days, TU has actively recruited international students. As TU continues to increase the
number of international degree-seeking undergraduate students it admits, it is critical that the University
develop and implement a comprehensive international student enrollment management plan consistent
with university-wide internationalization strategies.” SPCI, Recommendation #4
International Student Services: International students made up more than 22% of the student body in AY2012-13. US
News & World Report ranks TU 5th nationally in terms of the total percentage of international undergraduate students. The
top five sending countries between AY08-AY13 (in order) were China, Saudi Arabia, India, Angola, Oman.

The staff of International Student Services recruits and admits undergraduate students while providing immigration/SEVIS
support and specialized student services for over 1,000 academic and English Institute international students. Staff increased
the international undergraduate population by 28% in fall 2012, and in an effort to increase diversity, conducted recruiting
trips to Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile,
Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Kazakhstan. David Kobel was hired as a second assistant dean of International
Student Services in order to provide additional student support services in a variety of areas. He expanded student support
and retention, conducted more comprehensive orientations and developed academic success seminars for graduate and
undergraduate students. The ISS staff increased the number of one-on-one student support meetings and facilitated improved
student communication with a variety of different University of Tulsa departments and offices. ISS advised a variety of
international student organizations and The Association of International Students to provide events such as International
Night, International Bazaar, Saudi Cultural Night, Kazakh Cultural Night, Omani Night, Angolan National Celebration, and
The Muslim Student Graduation Party. The English Institute for International
Students provided language instruction for 163 students in 2012-13 while
increasing the number of academic preparation and cultural enrichment
activities.

Academic Writing programs: Dr. Adrian Wurr was hired in August 2012 to
revise the sequence of writing and communications courses for undergraduate
and graduate international students. Janice Willson, who was hired as
coordinator of second language writing and assessment in February 2013,
also provides additional support and leadership in managing the University
Writing Center. In fall 2012, Wurr taught English 6033: Academic Writing for
International Graduate Students for the first time. In spring 2013, the writing
program began a review of undergraduate writing courses. Drs. Rob McAlear
and Wurr each taught sections of English 1033: Exposition and Argumentation
for native and non-native speakers of English and recommended a revised
curriculum for the course that is being piloted AY 2013-2014.

In summer 2013, Wurr and Willson advised on the design of a summer program that
integrated curricular and co-curricular activities to provide students with a more cohesive and engaging experience. Thirteen students who were part of the dual degree
program with the China University of Petroleum and four other international students enrolled in English 1004: Introduction to College Writing, CDSP 2013: Essentials of Spoken English for the International Student, and a noncredit co-curricular
program, Explore Tulsa, offered by the Center for Global Education. The students
applied course concepts in a service-learning project at a local retirement community.
The students interviewed residents in the assisted living facility at Methodist Manor
about their life and wrote memoirs for the residents. They also gave short presentations on aspects of their culture such as traditional dances, tea service, wedding ceremonies, calligraphy, and martial arts. The students demonstrated gains in their spoken
and written English. This program will be offered again in summer 2014.

developing a training program to support the goals of the SPCI. The assessment
was conducted as a project for her graduate seminar, “Survey of Organizational Psychology.” The students led all aspects of the study in which they conducted interviews with 30 TU staff members in order
to understand cultural and language barriers that affect interactions of individuals from different cultural backgrounds and
identify potential training that could improve interactions. As a second phase, Narayan and graduate student Kalli Hannan
developed a survey based on the results of the interviews to further identify potential areas where knowledge, skills, abilities,
and other characteristics may benefit the staff in their daily

Create Programs that will Support TU’s Activities to
Competitively Recruit Top Academic Students
‘TU is attracting stronger undergraduate students who enter the University with significant AP or IB
credit, which allows them more course options in their degree plans. In addition, an increasing number
of these students come to TU with the expectation that their educational experience will include an
international component, especially since many TU undergraduates have already travelled abroad
with family, high schools, or church and service groups prior to beginning college. We have identified
opportunities for TU to establish distinctive experiences for undergraduate and graduate students that
we think will contribute to the University’s recruitment goals.” SPCI Recommendation #5
TU Global Scholars: The TU Global Scholars, an innovative new interdisciplinary studies program that involves students
from all undergraduate colleges to examine major drivers of global change, launched in summer 2013. Dr. Lara Foley was
appointed the first director of the Global Scholars program and recruited the first cohort of 16 students.
The Global Scholars program is designed to engage students in a community of scholars examining “big global questions.”
As part of the program:
Students take three interdisciplinary Global Scholars courses designed to examine major drivers of global change. The
courses satisfy nine hours of Block requirements.
Each class of Global Scholars participates in an interdisciplinary, community engaged, experiential summer course abroad.
The course for summer 2014 will focus on issues of sustainability and urban development in Germany and Hungary.
Looking ahead
Students must demonstrate proficiency in a modern foreign language equivalent to four semesters of college-level study.
The goal for campus internationalization is to increase the knowledge and appreciation of the interconnectedness of global
systems as they relate to language and literature, economics, politics, religion, the environment, law, and all natural systems
and processes. This will require a targeted and integrated approach that will encompass all levels of the university and
community. Internationalization of the campus represents an opportunity for students, administration, faculty, staff, and
other members of the campus community to learn new ways of thinking, to find new ways of communicating ideas, and to
understand global systems.
Students study abroad for at least one semester.
Each student develops an individual capstone project related to his or her study abroad experience that will be presented at
the TU Research Colloquium in his or her senior year.
Global Scholars are eligible for up to $10,000 in travel scholarships during their time in the program.
The academic program uses the framework of the Seven Revolutions, seven key worldwide trends identified by the Center for
Strategic & International Studies (CSIS). The Revolutions consider the question, “What will the world look like in 2035?” An
interdisciplinary faculty working group sponsored by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities developed
an academic program based on the Seven Revolutions that will shape our world by the year 2035 as the following:
1. Population: What effects will population growth/decline, aging, migration and urbanization have on our future world?
2. Resources: What changes will we see in food, water & energy consumption/production?
3. Technology: What changes are we going to see in computation, robotics, biotechnology and nanotechnology?
4. Information: How does the vast amount of data change how we learn and govern in the future?
5. Economies: How is our economic landscape changing?
6. Conflict: How do we balance state competition/conflict with the increased pressures of transnational threats?
7. Governance: What is the role of leaders, corporations and NGOs in this new environment?
Study Abroad: 220 students participated in education abroad programs (for TU-sponsored credit and
non-credit programs) in AY2013. Students studied abroad in 38 different countries; the top 7 destinations
are the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Ghana, Costa Rica, and China.

TU sent its 1,000th student abroad in summer 2013, following a campaign promoting
accomplishments of study abroad alumni. The Center for Global Education tracked TU alumni
who had studied abroad to highlight their accomplishments. Andrew Cressyman, a junior
chemical engineering who studied abroad in Prague, Czech Republic, was the lucky 1,000th
student. He won a travel scholarship to support his study abroad plans.
As we look ahead to the future and the next phase of the strategic plan, the focus will be on several key indicators of success,
including: 1) the expansion of curriculum in areas identified as priority in the SPCI; 2) the further reinforcement of university
infrastructure required to sustain internationalization initiatives; and 3) evaluations of the outcomes of Year I&II initiatives.
The following sections summarize the scholary activities of TU faculty, staff, and students from June 2012 – June 2013.
The sections represent the diversity and depth of the international activities of the TU community, but given the dynamic
nature of faculty activities, may not be comprehensive. All submissions have been self-reported.

The James Joyce Quarterly has a significant international
reach. In the last year, the JJQ published over 30 items by
scholars working outside the United States, from countries
including Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Germany,
Serbia, Italy, Greece, Canada, and China among many others.
(One of these issues had a special section on translation with
work by scholars from Poland, Hungary, Italy, and China.)
The JJQ regularly reviews books published in different
languages, and it is considered the international journal of
record for Joyce studies. In the last year, for example, the
first Chinese translation of Finnegans Wake appeared and
became a surprise best seller in Shanghai. The JJQ editorial
staff assisted the translator with the flood of publicity that
followed and provided background information for stories
that appeared from the BBC World Service as well from the
Chinese bureaus for several newspapers including The New
York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
