St. Thomas Outbound Mobility Infrastructure

St. Thomas University has engaged consultants and experts to provide capacity building support through the enhancement of our outbound mobility infrastructure. The three main areas of work included: (1) Increase student mobility capacity by developing student pre-departure and re-entry programming; (2) Increase institutional capacity by developing and testing risk management framework and resources for students, professors, and administrators; and (3) Increase institutional mobility capacity by researching and recommending international partnerships and provide initial support to administrators and professors via the creation of documents and guidelines that would enable them to offer students more varied, meaningful and successful international experience.
