American universities are facing a growing imperative to internationalize to prepare students to live and work in a globalized world, to enhance scholarship and discovery, and to foster economic links between their communities and the rest of the world. Comprehensive internationalization strategies include the integration of international content into the curriculum, increasing study abroad participation, recruiting and interacting with international students, and building strong and effective international partnerships and networks. Geography's traditions of regional study, fieldwork, and synthesis give us a historic opportunity to position ourselves as institutional leaders in defining internationalization. To do so, we need to build on the strong international foundation of our curriculum and its content and begin to embrace the breadth of international practices. By becoming central players in campus internationalization, we will be in a position to speak forcefully in support of a model of internationalization that is consistent with the missions and goals of higher education
