About…
Fairleigh Dickinson University
An independent, nonsectarian institution of higher education, Fairleigh Dickinson University serves more than 10,000 students and features campuses in Teaneck and Madison, New Jersey, as well as Wroxton, England. Created in 1942 as an institution “of and for the world,” Fairleigh Dickinson has long dedicated itself to internationalizing the campus and cultivating a rich understanding of our global society. FDU reaffirmed this historic commitment in 2000 when it became the first university in the United States to make global education the cornerstone of its formal mission.

American Council on Education
The American Council on Education (ACE), the major coordinating body for all of the nation’s higher education institutions, seeks to provide leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues and to influence public policy through advocacy, research and program initiatives. The Internationalization Collaborative is one of the activities of the ACE Center for Institutional and International Initiatives, which seeks to help U.S. higher education institutions internationalize so as to better prepare students to work and live in a globally interdependent world. The collaborative is an invitational forum that consists of approximately 40 colleges and universities that are committed to advancing internationalization on their campuses and across the country (http://www.acenet.edu/programs/ international/collaborative/).
