Abstract

As a Strategic University Partner of the International Fellowships Program (IFP), the University of Texas at Austin hosted a total of 62 IFP Fellows from 15 countries. The impact that IFP and the individual Fellows had on the university was significant. IFP’s mandate challenged the university’s processes, pushed through barriers, and set a new course for how the International Student and Scholar Services unit views its role at the university. This chapter looks at both the operational and policy dimensions of UT Austin’s collaboration with the IFP. It also presents an in-depth case study of one Fellow’s experiences at the university, suggesting some of the complexities and nuances associated with integration of nontraditional groups of international students.
