This working group is charged with building a strategy for Internationalization at Home (IaH).

IaH is set of processes and activities meant to develop intercultural capabilities, multiple perspective-taking and international understanding among all members of the campus community. This has implications for students, and faculty and staff members’ own development of global perspectives and intercultural capabilities. 

Internationalization at home (IaH) is “the purposeful integration of international and intercultural dimensions into the formal and informal curriculum for all students within domestic learning environments” (Beelen and Jones, 2015). IaH integrates these dimensions in the core curriculum and academic programs across campus, offering all undergraduate and graduate students global perspectives and intercultural learning in their programs of study, regardless of whether they have an international experience through DU. Additionally, IaH aims to promote purposeful engagement on campus, in co-curricular programming and in the classroom between students from culturally diverse backgrounds.
