THINK TANK MEMBERS

The Think Tank Members are individuals who have expressed interest in campus internationalization efforts and/or been identified as essential contributors to the work. Think Tank Members attend a monthly Internationalization Lab meeting and, based on interests, attend the INZ Thought Partner Discussions.

INZ THOUGHT PARTNERS

Internationalization Thought Partners (ITP) include various community members with specialization in and/or operational linkages with an identified internationalization area. ITPs are invited to take a deeper dive in exploring specific areas of internationalization. The ITP discussion topic leaders convene the group at designated times during the laboratory, possibly meeting only once or several times during the laboratory. Contact global@CalLutheran.edu if interested in joining ITP Discussions.
