In 2008-09, the 34 professional staff of the International Center provided services to 2,246 international students (putting UC San Diego in the top 4% of universities nationally), 2,385 international scholars (ranking us seventh in the country among public research universities), and 1,117 students preparing for education abroad experiences (we rank second in the US for students going abroad for a full year). UC San Diego students are involved in the International Club, join us for International Friday Café, participate in discussions groups with US and international students, win UC and national awards for research done abroad, and introduce newly arriving international students to UC San Diego and the community—just to name a few ways they are internationally engaged.

We improved our outreach and communications in 2008-09 through quarterly newsletters to UC San Diego colleagues, an improved website (that includes on-line scholarship and Global Seminar program applications, and an on-line facilities reservation system), the inclusion of Facebook and Twitter in our marketing, and the use of the latest technology for text messaging. We appreciate all of the collaboration with our colleagues across campus and have listed our key partners at the end of this Annual Report.

Global Seminars (UC San Diego faculty-led, 8 unit, 5-week education abroad programs) were launched in Summer 2008 with 135 participants. Just two years later, we look forward to sending over 185 students abroad on Global Seminars in Summer 2010.

The successful expansion of our internationalization efforts over the years caused an increasingly untenable space situation for the International Center. In March 2009, the International Cooperative Nursery School moved off campus. Our International Scholars Office and the Main Office for the International Center relocated to that space. We look forward to beginning work on a renovated/expanded/new International Center this summer.

Many thanks to Barry, Derek, Dulce, Guy, Horst, Jon, Kim, Misty, and especially Sara for their outstanding work on this report.

International Scholar Population Served by ISO

Source: fsaATLAS (ISO database)

In 2008-09, the total international scholar population at UC San Diego was 2,385, a 12% increase from the previous year. 1,746 scholars were in J-1 exchange visitor status, and 428 in H-1B employment visa status. The ISO team issued more than 1,150 new and extension documents for those in J-1 status and submitted close to 200 new and extension H-1B petitions for approval by US Citizenship and Immigration Services. With the expertise of the immigration attorney on staff, the ISO team also prepared about 40 permanent resident (Green Card) petitions for approval.

External Challenges The ISO advisors strive to provide excellent services for UC San Diego’s academic research departments and international scholars. However, even with our best efforts and intentions, extraneous factors sometimes generate dissatisfaction and frustration. Ever-new requirements by US government agencies (often unannounced and/or implemented with short notice) and unexpected delays in the processing of our petitions are a constant challenge. Some of our scholars are subject to extensive scrutiny and delays when they apply for their entry visas to the USA. Through our professional organization and in collaboration with colleagues and outside immigration attorneys, we continue to engage US government agencies in a dialog to maintain our rapport and improve services.

UC San Diego’s reputation for academic excellence and outstanding research opportunities continues to attract professors, researchers, and visiting scholars from more than 90 countries. These scholars represent a wide variety of cultures making a significant impact on and major contributions to the research efforts at UC San Diego. In 2008-

09, UC San Diego again ranked seventh among major research institutions in the U.S. in the number of international scholars.

Josep Soler Carbonell is a visiting scholar from the University of Barcelona.

A doctoral student in sociolinguistics, Josep is doing his research on linguistic ideologies in Catalonia and Estonia. His work is motivated by the high degree of complexity in terms of minority language situation in both of these areas. Aside from his research, Josep is aiming to bring awareness of Catalan culture and language to campus. One of his major contributions to the campus community has been his creation of the Catalan language table. Josep is also working with the EAP program as a resource for students interested in studying in Barcelona. Some upcoming events he is working on include a poster exhibition on Catalonia for UC San Diego, which is supported by the Casal de Catalans of San Diego. In Fall Quarter 2010, he will give a guest lecture on multilingualism and education in Catalonia in Professor Sharon Rose’s course on multilingualism, LIGN177.

International Student Population Served by ISPO

Source: fsaATLAS (ISPO database) and Data Warehouse

Implications of Growth During a Difficult Budgetary Climate

The total international student population is expected to grow in the next 3-5 years and will help fund State-supported students. Despite the decline in State budget resources and resulting budget shortfall, ISPO must continue to ensure that the University is in compliance with federal and state mandates, as well as provide the support needed by an anticipated growth in the international student population. We are poised to enter a growth phase in services and programs in order to ensure that the international student community continues to thrive, enrich our community, and contribute to our growing reputation for excellence.

The Big Picture

UC San Diego continues to rank among the top 4% of institutions of higher education enrolling international students (Open Doors 2009, Institute of International Education). For 2008-09, the total number of international students remained steady at 2,2461. In fact, almost 4% of the total undergraduate student body and more than 20% of the total graduate student body are international.

1 It appears as if there is a small decline in the total number of international students in 2008-09. However, in this year’s

Annual Report, ISPO changed the methodology used to count students on post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT)—employment authorization for those who have completed their programs at UC San Diego. Students who were on OPT, but also showed any enrollment in classes during 2008-09, are now counted only as registered students. In previous

reports, the students were counted both as a registered student and as an OPT student.

Tritons across Borders

In 2008-09, Asia remained the region sending the most students to UC San Diego – accounting for more than 70% of the total international student population. South Korea is the leading place of origin for the fourth consecutive year, increasing by 17% from 2007-08 to 590. Due to the financial crisis of 2008, other countries in the top 10 showed significant declines. For example, India and Taiwan each saw decreases of 13% in the total number of students. The international student population continues to be markedly underrepresented when it comes to students from Africa and the Middle East.

The Programs Abroad Office (PAO) provides high quality services and resources to enable UC San Diego students to study, work, intern, research, and volunteer abroad. Students may choose from thousands of options that fall under three major programs:

UC’s Education Abroad Programs (EAP): Students have opportunities at approximately 150 institutions in 34 countries. All options administered by the University of California.

UC San Diego’s Opportunities Abroad Programs (OAP): A process that allows students to participate in programs that are administered by organizations or institutions other than the University of California. Thousands of options exist.

UC San Diego’s Global Seminars (GS): UC San Diego faculty teach summer session courses abroad with small groups of students (15-25 participants). 6-12 programs are offered each summer. Students earn 8 units in 5 weeks.

In addition to advising students about their many program options, we actively assist students with pre-departure logistics and orientations, with financial aid and study abroad scholarship applications, and with re-entry concerns and issues.

In Support of the Chancellor’s Goal

Approximately 22% of UC San Diego students currently participate in an education abroad experience before they graduate. The Chancellor’s goal is to send 50% of students abroad before graduation. To achieve this goal, the PAO staff strives to educate students and parents about the value of study abroad as an integral part of one’s undergraduate education. Articulating and appropriately marketing learning outcomes for study abroad to the campus community is one of the many components to the multi-pronged approach for achieving the Chancellor’s goal.

The number of UC San Diego students participating in EAP and OAP options held steady from 2007-08, and another 137 students studied abroad through Global Seminars, resulting in the highest number of participants since 2005-06.

Roosevelt College remains the leading sender of study abroad students as its mission and goals are consistent with those of the International Center.

* The total number of EAP Reciprocal students in this section of the Annual Report is 241 while the total number of EAP-R students in the ISPO appendix of the Annual Report is 234. The apparent discrepancy is due to the fact that some EAP-R students have dual U.S. citizenship and are therefore not counted in the ISPO section.

**More graduate students participate in education abroad; however, the numbers reflected in the table above count only those who utilize PAO’s advising services.

Students who participate in work, internship, and volunteer experiences abroad are included in this data. The volunteer number includes those students who participate in UCSD’s Alternative Breaks programs, administered by the Center for Student Involvement.

Increasing Diversity

Tritons going abroad are increasingly choosing destinations outside of Western Europe. In 2008-09, we saw significant increases in the number of students going to Argentina, Costa Rica, and Japan.

Global Seminars Premiere Summer 2008 saw the successful launch of UC San Diego’s Global Seminars (GS), our faculty-led program, which sent 137 students abroad on 8 different seminars for a five-week summer session. Students earned 8 units by taking 2 courses. Many participants came from non-traditional populations in education abroad, such as first generation college students and math and science majors.

23% of GS students studied in Latin America while 77% spent the inaugural summer session abroad in Western Europe.

PAO anticipates greater diversity in Global Seminar destinations as the program matures.

A National Leader in Study Abroad Overall participation in study abroad at UC San Diego reflects the national trend toward short-term programs. However, 12% of our participants studied abroad for a full academic year, compared to the national average of just over 4%, placing UC San Diego 7

th in the

nation, for Doctoral and Research Institutions, for the number of students studying abroad for a full academic year; the highest ranking of any UC campus.

Time Abroad

Academic Integration One historically underrepresented group of students, those in the disciplines Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) have been a major focus in study abroad advising at UC San Diego and universities nationwide. Unfortunately, the restructuring of EAP has resulted in cuts to programs such as the Science and Technology program in Grenoble, France, which was a good academic match for STEM students. In response to the institutional change, PAO’s commitment to students has led advisors to increase their breadth of knowledge of OAP programs as EAP options are reduced. Academic integration and outreach efforts help advisors keep abreast of curricular changes both at home and abroad that may affect students. Additionally, advisors continue to work with faculty and staff in partner departments to seek new universities and programs abroad that are strong matches for students in all academic disciplines at UC San Diego. The increased knowledge of advisors and collaborative efforts with campus partners has brought the percentage of STEM students participating in education abroad opportunities up to 32% from 21% in 2007-08.

Majors in Study Abroad

The five majors with the highest number of students studying abroad are

Biology, Communications, Economics, Political Science, and International Studies.

Studying abroad does not delay graduation!

An analysis of the freshmen student cohort entering in fall of 2002 showed that of the students who studied abroad, 92% graduated in 5 years (4 years and 1 quarter) while only 78% of those who did not study abroad graduated within the same time. Study abroad does not delay graduation regardless of major, ethnicity, parental income, predicted first year GPA, gender, 1st generation, college, SAT score, high school GPA, or any other factor. Please encourage students to attend a First Steps Meeting to learn more about education abroad opportunities (study, research, internship, volunteer, work, service learning). See complete data at icenter.ucsd.edu/pdfs/0809EAP_OAPcombined.pdf

Education Abroad: A Life-long Impact

According to the International Center Study Abroad Alumni Survey, Fall 2008:

50.7% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad influenced their choice of career;

38.5% said that study abroad helped them get their first job;

Over 90% valued cross-cultural and language learning experiences both personally and professionally.

See the entire survey at icenter.ucsd.edupdfs/saa_surveyresults08.pdf

As a returnee from both the year-long EAP program at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland (2007-2008) and the PRIME summer program in Taiwan this year, Michael has been leading the charge to make classroom presentations in all of the lower-division Computer Science courses each quarter, and this quarter he is partnering with two of the engineering honors societies to present study abroad options to his peers. His enthusiasm for study abroad is evidenced by his encouragement, often successful, for engineering students to internationalize their experience.

Michael Nekrasov is a double Computer Science and Math

major.
