About IACUE
The
IACUE, International Association for College and University
Education, is a non-profit organization whose main aim is the stimulation and facilitation of the internationalization of higher
education around the world, and to meet the professional needs of
individuals active in international education. Honor society
membership for academic excellence in a higher education discipline
is one of the most cherished tributes that a graduate can receive
from his/her institution. IACUE is a primary national voice for
voluntary accreditation and quality assurance to the international
education society and a primary national voice for voluntary
accreditation to the general public, opinion leaders, students and
families.
The
IACUE is an association of international education professionals. It
is a multi-sectoral organization made up of individual and corporate
members. The IACUE represents members from all education sectors
(public and private) - university, vocational education, schools and
English language - as well as from government and commercial
organizations.
The
IACUE has been established to serve the needs and interests of the
large number of individuals working in international education
across all education sectors, to encourage informed and ethical
professional practice among members, and to promote international
education to governments, education organizations and within the
community.
Existing groups and structures have advanced international education
in a variety of ways, for particular purposes and with considerable
success. The field has benefited by the policy and operational
inputs of governments and their instrumentalities, peak bodies,
corporate and commercial interests in all sectors.
There is, however, a critical need to serve the professional
interests of the thousands of individuals at various levels, and
with widely different professional responsibilities and experience,
working in international education across all education sectors. The
needs of individual professionals are best served by a
broadly-based, member-oriented, member-driven association, whose
role should complement and through appropriate alliances, facilitate
the work of other groups and bodies within the international
education field.
IACUE is an association and includes individuals in all education
sectors and at all levels, in institutions, in government and
elsewhere, who are active or interested in international education.
This includes individuals involved in executive/senior management,
marketing, student support, study abroad, student exchange,
admissions, and teaching and learning. It includes international
membership and relates to counterpart international associations.
IACUE aims to work in close collaboration with governments and their
instrumentalities, industry peak bodies, corporate and commercial
interests.

IACUE Offers
The
IACUE strives to link international education professionals together
in order to help create a global environment where there is mobility
and education for all. In order to facilitate this, the IACUE works
to aid in the professional development of internationalizes and to
ensure that important information is not only disseminated, but that
there is an increased awareness about critical issues so that they
can be debated in order to come to mutual understandings.
Professional development is tackled by offering various training
courses, seminars, professional development modules and executive
forums throughout the year, disseminating important issues via
publications, providing an important forum with the services
on-line, and most importantly by creating an atmosphere for
learning, debate, and networking at the annual conference. The IACUE,
with its professional sections and special interest groups, ensures
that adequate attention is paid to the more specific topics that
concern IACUE members as well as the general topics challenging the
international higher education arena.
