Historically, UMS institutions have developed international admissions processes and policies independently and in a competitive context. As UMS develops more cross-campus and functional area collaborations, there is an opportunity for policy alignment and further leveraging of internal expertise. This session will describe the Davis mini grant project related to international admissions, present the findings, and offer recommendations. The session will be followed by Q & A.
