of new efforts at some universities to develop comprehensive plans for campusinternationalization. Such efforts may be facilitated by the formation of public / privatepartnerships or Joint Ventures (JVs) between the university and a private company. These newpartnerships constitute new creative ways that some universities have found to diversify theircampus communities and gain a global perspective. A growing number of universities in the UShave been embracing these non-traditional models for rapidly internationalizing their universitycampuses. It has become evident that the internationalization of university campuses is nolonger just a matter of signing memoranda of understanding to facilitate student mobility throughthe traditional college
