This academic year, IUPUI has engaged in the process of refreshing its Strategic Plan, and aligned with that work, the Office of International Affairs (OIA) has established the Curriculum Internationalization Advisory Committee. The committee, co-chaired by Dr. Sue Babich, associate dean of global health, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, and Dr. Leslie Bozeman, director of curriculum internationalization, OIA, comprises representatives from several university schools and offices. With regard to curriculum internationalization and global learning, the committee’s charge is to:
- Assist OIA in strategic planning, including the provision of faculty and staff development opportunities;
- Communicate knowledge, perspectives, and insight from IUPUI’s stakeholders, and
- Enhance the relationship and information flow between OIA and campus units. This charge builds upon the work of the Subcommittee on Curriculum Internationalization, led by Dr. Michael Snodgrass, director, global and international studies, conducted during IUPUI’s participation in the ACE International Laboratory between 2012 and 2014.
One of the first undertakings of the committee is to review and revise IUPUI’s International Learning Goals (ILGs). These goals were established by a similarly comprised committee of IUPUI faculty and staff in 2006; however, knowledge and use of the goals on campus is inconsistent. Reviewing the learning goals is especially timely considering the campus’s current focus on revising the principles of undergraduate learning (PUL) and principles of co-curricular learning. The committee felt it was important to situate the revision of the ILGs in the developing PUL framework in order to show how global learning can be aligned with those principles and to maintain a cohesive and comprehensive set of student learning outcomes for the campus. Later this semester or early in the fall semester, the committee anticipates sharing the revised learning goals with the campus.
With representation from the PUL Taskforce on the Curriculum Internationalization Advisory Committee, the committee has been able to incorporate key concepts from the recommended new iteration of the PULs into its framing of the revision of the International Learning Goals. Simultaneously, the committee has prepared feedback with regard to how effective the language for the new PUL document and graphic is at communicating IUPUI’s commitment to preparing graduates who will be able to ‘operate in a globalized world with skill, wisdom, and responsibility.’ The PUL Taskforce has been able to incorporate this feedback, along with that of OIA leadership, into the PUL revision process. Moving forward, the committee will incorporate the recommended revision of the PULs and other campus priorities, such as engaged learning and high impact practices, into its strategic planning process.
The members of the committee are:
Dr. Gabriel Filippelli, professor and director of The Center for Urban Health, School of Science
Dr. Youngbok Hong, associate professor and director of Visual Communication Design Graduate Programs, Herron School of Art+Design
Dr. Doug Jerolimov, instructional design consultant, Center for Teaching and Learning

From time to time, you may have had a student in your classroom whose behavior teetered on the brink of civility, or crossed over to the dark side of disruption, plagiarism, or bullying. You probably have some tried and true responses (expressions of shock, deployment of guilt) but dealing with disruptive students isn’t something for which many of us receive training. Here are some policies and resources that might be of help as the semester winds down and tempers flare up:
