INTERNATIONAL CENTER DEAN’S INTRODUCTION
UC San Diego achieves local impact, national influence, and global reach through its people, programs, teaching, research, and service. The International Center helps UC San Diego achieve these goals. Last year UC San Diego attracted almost 2,200 international scholars and over 2,200 international students and almost 1,000 of our US students studied abroad. These students and scholars contribute to our classrooms, research, and service and help globally educate our students. Our talented, diverse, and accomplished staff members are engaged
regionally, nationally, and internationally as they contribute to UC San Diego’s mission and to the field of international education. You’ll see that we have included in this year’s annual report, a listing of staff accomplishments and professional affiliations. In February of 2009 Jenny Garza received one of the UC San Diego’s Diversity Awards—while this will officially appear in next year’s report it is such an honor for Jenny that I wanted to share it with you now. The Friends of the International Center and many other volunteers contribute their time, talent, and funds in support of our mission. The Friends and volunteers focus on the individual international students, scholars, and spouses. This assistance has a crucial local impact and is deeply appreciated. The scholarships that the Friends and the campus provide for international students and students going abroad, make international education feasible for individuals who otherwise may not have such an opportunity. Our volunteers are recognized each year with the Chancellor’s Awards, the details of which are on page 10. There are also numerous administrators, advisors, faculty, and staff who assist our international students and scholars and our study abroad students. We appreciate all of their efforts. This year, we gave out the first annual “Partners in International Education” awards to ten very deserving individuals (see their names on page 10). We look forward to recognizing more of our partners in future years. Accomplishments We rank 7th in the nation for the number of international scholars on our campus, 7th in the nation for the number of students studying abroad for a full year, and are in the top 5% of schools nationally for the number of international students on our campus. We have a new logo thanks to a fabulous concept by Kit Quarterman and the design work of Alfredo Vilano, Advertising Art Director for the Guardian. The logo appears on the front of the Annual Report and also on our new quarterly newsletter: http://icenter.ucsd.edu/pdfs/icnews.pdf. UC San Diego offered the first faculty-led Global Seminars (5 week, 8 unit study abroad programs) in summer 2008. Eight Global Seminars attracted 136 students. In summer 2009 we anticipate offering six Global Seminars, some repeats and some new. As you will see from the Executive Summary of our Study Abroad Alumni Survey (page 9), 50.7% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad influenced their
5
choice of career and 38.5% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad helped them get their first job after college. We received over 1,200 amazing comments from our alumni that will be used in our publicity, presentations, and discussions with students, parents, faculty, and staff. Plans are underway for an international student alumni survey. Some of our tastiest programming brings students, staff, and faculty together for a meal and good conversation. Our ever-popular Friday Café draws about 200 people each week. The quarterly ArtPower! dinners, which began in 2007-08 with the wonderful support and assistance of the Friends (especially Barbara Fitzsimmons), are attended by 80-140 people. Wednesday Coffee, I-Partners, and I-Club bring dozens of members of our community together regularly for activities, events, and discussion. You are most welcome to join us! Challenges The challenge of inadequate space for the International Center noted in last year’s report is being addressed. The space formerly used by International Cooperative Nursery School (ICNS) and several other offices at the Center will be renovated to accommodate an ever-increasing number of students, staff, and scholars. We expect that renovation will begin in March 2009. We continue to need more English tutors for our international students, scholars, and spouses. Despite the valiant efforts of numerous volunteer tutors, we still have about 50 internationals seeking tutoring. If you can assist, please refer to: http://icenter.ucsd.edu/volunteer/volunteer_tutor.html Student interest in study abroad continues to grow but they face real and perceived obstacles to participation--funding, how courses taken abroad will fit with their major and general education requirements, and concerns over time to graduation. Through Academic Integration and fund-raising efforts, we are working hard to reduce these barriers. The economic challenges we all face have the potential to negatively impact the opportunity for our students to study abroad, and the ability of our international students and scholars to study, teach, and conduct research at UC San Diego. We must redouble our efforts and attend creatively to scholarship development so that all of our students have access to the international experiences that will give them the knowledge, skills, and sensitivities required of them as well-educated citizens in the 21st century. We value the partnerships and collaborations across campus that serve our students and scholars so well. Please feel free to send me any ideas for new initiatives or improvements.

THE UC SAN DIEGO STUDY ABROAD ALUMNI SURVEY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The International Center sent out an email to 3,872 study abroad alumni. Names and PID’s were compiled by the Programs Abroad Office of the International Center and sent to the Alumni Association, who provided us with the contact information of study abroad alumni. Of the 3,872 email addresses, 386 bounced back. That left us with 3,486 good email addresses. An email requesting participation in the survey was first sent on August 18, 2008. As of November 26, 2008, 986 participants (or 28.3%) responded. The survey included nine demographic questions related to gender, ethnicity, UCSD college, major, financial aid, year of graduation, length of study abroad program, and region of study abroad program. The second set of questions asked alumni about the impact of study abroad on their personal and professional lives. Result Highlights
• One respondent graduated in 1973! Others graduated in 1975, 1978, 1983, 1984, and 1986 (as well as every year since 1990).
• 54.7% of respondents studied abroad for a full year. Another 31.5% studied abroad for a semester.
• Students studied abroad in all regions of the world, but the majority (57%) studied abroad in Western Europe.
• Only 30.7% of respondents were male, which parallels the percentage of UCSD males who go abroad and is similar to the national participation rate of males.
• Caucasians represented the largest ethnic group, with 64.4% of respondents. • 50.7% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad influenced their
choice of career. • 38.5% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad helped them
obtain their first job after college. • 99.5% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the cross-cultural skills they
learned abroad were valuable to them personally, and 93.2% agreed or strongly agreed that they were professionally valuable.
• The vast majority of participants also agreed or strongly agreed that their study abroad experiences:
o influenced the way they track international events (88.0%), o impacted their likelihood to engage in international activities (94.3%), o impacted their interest in post-study abroad travel (95.2%), o impacted their friendships (93.9%), o would lead them to urge others to study abroad (99.8%), and o were overall valuable (99.9%).

INTERNATIONAL SCHOLAR OFFICE DIRECTOR’S INTRODUCTION
UC San Diego’s reputation for academic excellence and research opportunities continues to attract professors, researchers, and visiting scholars from all over the world. International scholars make a significant impact and contribution to the research efforts at UC San Diego; more than 60% of UC San Diego’s postdoctoral researchers come from abroad, arriving in non-immigrant visa status.
In 2007-2008, UC San Diego ranked seventh among major research institutions in the USA in the number of international scholars. In the previous year, UC San Diego ranked eighth. Of our 2,126 international scholars during 2007-2008, 87% are at UC San Diego to conduct research, 6% are faculty (teaching and research), about 1% exclusively teach (lecturers), and 6% came for short-term activities such as conferences, colloquia, and short-term research projects. The leading areas of research by international scholars are in the health sciences, followed by the biological sciences, chemistry/biochemistry, and engineering. UC San Diego hosts international scholars from more than 80 countries. The majority come from Asian countries, followed by European countries. Scholars from countries in Africa and the Middle East still remain significantly underrepresented. International scholars and their dependents represent a large variety of cultures and diversity. They are a tremendous resource, providing many contributions and enriching our campus and community.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT OFFICE DIRECTOR’S INTRODUCTION
The International Student Office offers a wide array of services and programs for international students and their dependents at UC San Diego in an effort to support their legal stay in the USA and help them achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals. In addition, the office provides a variety of high quality programs and cross-cultural activities designed to expand international student integration at UC San Diego in the local community, and to provide international experiences at home for domestic students.
Record High Numbers In 2007-2008, the number of international students increased by nearly 5% from 2006-2007 to a record high of 2,267, demonstrating again that UC San Diego remains a premier destination for those seeking to further their education from around the globe. In fact, UC San Diego ranked among the nation’s top 5% of institutions of higher education attracting international students. This corresponds to a national trend of increasing numbers experienced by many other US campuses, according to the Open Doors 2008 report published annually by the Institute of International Education. In part this is due to a commitment by the US government and higher education to welcome more international students and improve outreach efforts in key international markets. International Students Served Of the 2,267 international students served, 52% are graduate students, 43% are undergraduate students, and 5% are certificate students. Of special interest is the strong growth in the Certificate Program and Visiting Student categories. Participants in the Global Leadership Institute’s Certificate Program at the Graduate School of International Relations/Pacific Studies increased by 35% from last year to 120. Meanwhile, the number of visiting students participating in the UC Education Abroad Program-Reciprocity, Fulbright Program, or UC Intercampus Exchange Program increased by 22% from 2006-2007 to 249. Graduate Student Population Over 20% of the graduate student body is international, an increase of 5% from 2006-2007 to 932. A majority of the students—81%—are enrolled in the Graduate Division and the Jacobs School of Engineering. The top 5 fields of study (in order) are Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, International Relations/Pacific Studies, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, and Business Administration—accounting for half of the international graduate student population. Undergraduate Student Population Meanwhile, internationals at the undergraduate level slightly increased by 2% from 2006-2007 to 795 and seem to be distributed at a range of percentages, with 11% of international students at Earl Warren College on the low end, to 25% of international students at Eleanor Roosevelt College on the high end. At the undergraduate level, Economics and Management Science remain the most popular fields of study,

comprising one-third of the total, followed by (in order) Bioengineering, Biology, and Biochemistry. Countries of Origin In 2007-2008, there were increases from 9 of the 10 leading places of origin, and 13 of the top 20, with double-digit increases from 5 of the top 10 countries. Accounting for more than 70% of the total international student population, Asia remains the region sending the most students to UC San Diego. In terms of nations represented, South Koreans continue to surpass both Indians and Chinese who represent the greatest number of international students across the USA. In fact, South Korea remains the leading sending place of origin for the 3rd consecutive year, increasing by 12% from 2006-2007 to 503, following an increase of 12% the previous year. Joining the top 10 for the first time, Canada, United Kingdom, and Italy, saw double-digit increases. Mexico dropped to 10th from 8th, with a significant decrease of 27% in the total number of students. Our international student population is markedly underrepresented when it comes to students from Africa and the Middle East. Major Contributions by International Students International students and their dependents have a major economic impact on the local and national economy. According to UC San Diego’s 2008 Economic Impact Report, international students bolster the California economy by spending more than $10.3 million annually on food, transportation, housing, and retail. In fact, international students contribute over $15.5 billion annually to the US economy through expenditures on tuition and living expenses including room and board, books and supplies, transportation, health insurance, support for accompanying family members, and other miscellaneous items, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educator’s 2007-2008 Statistical Analysis Report. In addition, international students and their dependents are a tremendous resource to our campus and community. Representing nearly 90 countries, they bring a diversity of ideas and unique approaches to practical problem-solving. They enrich our community and contribute to our growing reputation for excellence. The International Student Office hopes that you find the following information useful and informative. We also hope that you enjoy learning a bit more about the fascinating community of people that we proudly serve—the international students of UC San Diego.

PROGRAMS ABROAD OFFICE DIRECTOR’S INTRODUCTION
The Programs Abroad Office (PAO) furthers UC San Diego’s internationalization efforts by providing high quality outreach, advising, student selection, predeparture orientation, and re-entry services for UCSD students to study, work, intern, research, or volunteer abroad. Opportunities for students fall under three umbrellas: UC’s Education Abroad Program (EAP), UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP), and UCSD’s Global Seminars (GS). In 2007/08, the number of UC San Diego students participating in academic study abroad programs dropped to 971 from 1,017 in
2006/07. Despite the overall drop in participation, the number of UCSD students on EAP increased in 07/08, as did the number of EAP participants systemwide. The decline was in the number of students choosing OAP programs, which we speculate was due in large part to the higher cost of participation in these programs for our students and the declining economic situation here in the US. The overall data for Programs Abroad participants (academic and non-academic programs) shows a decline to 19.4% of UC San Diego’s undergraduates participating, down slightly from 21.6 % in 06/07. It is important to note, however, that this decline is due in part to a larger number of UCSD degrees conferred in 07/08. It is also of note that the other UC campuses sending more than 1,000 students abroad, Davis, Irvine and Los Angeles, send a large percentage of their students on short-term summer study abroad programs led by their own faculty. By contrast, the majority of UCSD students abroad are direct enrolling at a foreign institution, or are taking classes offered by colleges and universities abroad for international students. We are pleased to include data for UC Merced this year for the first time. You will note their very high participation percentages, due in large part to the small number of degrees conferred in 07/08. Top destinations for UCSD students by world region were Europe: 49.5% (national data is 57.4%), Asia: 25.8% (national 10.3%) and Latin America: 11.5% (national 15%). Asia and the Middle East were the regions with the highest percentage of increase in participation for 07/08. 21% of our students abroad in 07/08 were Math, Science and Engineering majors, compared with the national average of 16%. We continue our Academic Integration efforts, begun five years ago, to collaborate with academic departments to find strong academic matches abroad for their students. 9.6% of students abroad were transfer students, compared to the 7.9% of UCSD’s undergraduate population who were transfers in the fall of ‘07. Isolating the transfer student population for this same time period, 5.7% of them were abroad, up from 4.5% in 2006. 14% of UCSD students participated on academic yearlong programs, compared to 4.4% of students at comparable institutions nationally. This puts us at #7 in the country for our Carnegie category, and 2nd among all the UC campuses for yearlong participation in study abroad. Six UC campuses were in the top 20 institutions nationally in this category. Of the 20 students who participated in international internship programs for academic credit, 16 students, or 80%, were on programs administered by UCSD’s Academic
35
Internship Program (AIP). AIP is housed at Warren College, yet serves students from all of UCSD’s Colleges, and manages programs in London and Sydney. AIP also provides the organizational infrastructure to support students on the PRIME undergraduate research program in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The Pacific Rim Experiences for Undergraduates (PRIME), an NSF funded project, is directed by Professors Gabriele Wienhausen and Peter Arzberger. We may not be aware of all scholarships received by our students. But our data shows that 33% of UCSD students abroad in 07/08, up from 23.5% the previous year, received study abroad scholarship support totaling $499,850. Sources include the federal government, UC’s Education Abroad Program, OAP program provider scholarships, Eleanor Roosevelt College, Revelle College, the Friends of the International Center, and various individual donors. In Fall, 2008 we awarded UCSD Study Abroad Scholarships of $1,000 each to 25 incoming freshmen. Recipients may use these awards for study abroad at any time during their undergraduate years. 51% of our students abroad were in the low to high financial need categories, based on FAFSA evaluation, while 53% of UCSD undergraduates in Fall, 2007 were in the same categories. Again this year, a higher percentage of students who did not apply for aid, or who were deemed to have no need, chose to study abroad through OAP, and not through the more cost effective EAP programs administered by UC. We maintain that these students, who do not have to be as concerned about program cost, have more program choices and are able to participate in programs that are more closely targeted to their academic needs and career goals than those students whose decisions are tied more directly to program budget. Summer 2008 marked the launch of the UC San Diego Global Seminar (GS) program. 136 students participated in 8 study abroad programs led by UCSD faculty. The programs were academically rigorous, and met the key objective of connecting classroom learning to the site in ways that are not possible on the UCSD campus. While more detailed data about the GS participants will appear in the 2008/09 Annual Report, we are pleased to report that the GS programs enrolled a substantial number of first generation (34.4%) and transfer students (22%), as well as science and engineering majors (50.7%). These are all populations that have not previously studied abroad in large numbers. We anticipate that 6 GS programs will run in 2009. During the fall of 2008, the International Center sent a survey to 3,500 study abroad alumni. Almost 1,000 alums responded, a return rate of 28.3%. Highlights of note include 1) 50.7% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad influenced their choice of career, 2) 38.5% agreed or strongly agreed that study abroad helped them obtain their first job after college, and 3) 99.8% would urge others to study abroad. One alumnus summarized it this way: “Everyone needs to study abroad! No matter your financial situation, major requirements, ties to home/family/friends, your life will only improve by an international study experience. Figure out a way to do it and go!”
