Revenue
Global learning ‘at home’ for all our students
Workforce supply for Washington
Graduate students in STEM and other areas
Issues/Opportunities:
• Integration with domestic/other international students
• Diversifying countries/cultures represented at WSU
• Competing for students across U.S. and globally
*Education has become a global commodity
• Increasing R&D investment/university rankings/jobs at home
(will U.S. students see value in a foreign degree?)
Every WSU student should be graduating with
leadership, global and cultural competency
• 40% of jobs in WA tied to international trade
(Nov 2012 “International Competitiveness Strategy for
Washington State” by Washington Council on International Trade
and the Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle)
• 50+% of employers: College graduates should
have both field-specific knowledge/skills and a
broad range of skills/knowledge
(Jan 2013 AAC&U Survey of 318 employers)

USP in Pirrasununga for synergies with WSU’s plant sciences,
food engineering, biofuels, environmental engineering
