For instance, when violence erupted in northern Nigeria after the Presidential election, people in the Georgia Tech situation room responding to reports flagged by the software were able to contact personnel from public safety agencies who coordinated the response.\u0026nbsp; Dr. Best has also been instrumental in bringing a number of senior officials from African countries to our Atlanta campus, including Ministers and, most notably, the President of Liberia.

The IP is an optional\u0026nbsp;degree designator, meaning that a series of experiential and course requirements are built into a student\u0026#39;s major. Students typically join the program as first-year students, and work on the IP components over the course of their GT undergraduate degree. Completion of the IP results in a special designation on the diploma, an indication that a student has made international education a central part of their GT experience.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe IP asks students to spent at least six months abroad engaged in study,\u0026nbsp;internship and\/or research abroad; demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language; take three globally-focused courses; and complete a culminating capstone project. While 54% of GT\u0026#39;s undergraduate students have at least one international experience by the time they graduate, the IP takes international study a step further. By creating a coherent plan that immerses the student in a language and culture and by incorporating the complementary global coursework into the program, IP students develop deep insights into their own culture, their host culture, and the global context in which they will eventually practice their discipline.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThese insights benefit students in any field, regardless of where they end up after Georgia Tech. Employers increasingly report a need to recruit graduates who have global perspectives, can work with diverse teams, and are flexible, open-minded, and able to approach problems from more than one angle. IP graduating students continuously cite these attributes as key takeaways from the program.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlthough it is becoming more common for universities to offer global minors and certificates, the IP remains a unique program. Many similar programs require a much shorter amount of time abroad (5-6 weeks vs. 6 months), and the IP is actually a part of the student\u0026#39;s major, not a side pursuit.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe IP is an important recruitment tool for GT, with many first-year applicants stating that the IP was one of the deciding factors for them to choose GT over other schools. It is particularly attractive to female STEM students, which contributes to GT\u0026#39;s effort to increase its enrollment of women.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince the inception of the IP in 2005, Tech\u0026#39;s internationalization has increased significantly. The number of international programs available to students has increased by 75%, and the undergraduate participation rate in international experiences has increased from 33% to 54%. The IP also led to the founding of the Global Internship Program (formerly Work Abroad), which now sends nearly 200 students abroad for internships each year. The IP directly contributes to GT\u0026#39;s strategic goal of, \u0026quot;graduating good global citizens.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Office of International Education supports IP students by offering special sections of GT 1000 for newly accepted IP students, opportunities to network with IP upperclassmen and alumni, and specialized advising on pathways to completing the program. OIE also works with the participating academic units to ensure there are adequate international opportunities for students in each major, to keep the IP curriculum up-to-date, and to administer the IP Capstones.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo date, 253 students have graduated with the IP designation.

In\u0026nbsp;1991, the Department of Modern Languages was not remarkably different from other language departments at technical universities. Beyond basic instruction in the commonly known languages, it offered upper-level courses of culture and literature.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThat changed through the vision of Heidi Rockwood, who was named chair of the department by Ivan Allen College Dean Fred Tarpley. Not only did Rockwood prevent the department from being annexed by the English department, but she was determined to turn Modern Languages into an important player in its own right by giving it a new focus according to currently successful programs concentrating on foreign languages for business and using an interdisciplinary approach.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWith approval from the administration, Rockwood was also able to hire new faculty, among them\u0026nbsp;Bettina\u0026nbsp;Cothran, who brought with her expertise in applied language programs. The summer of 1991 marked the inauguration of Language for Business and Technology program known as LBAT. Cothran\u0026rsquo;s German program was the first to conduct a 5-week summer language immersion program. It employed three German students as assistants through a partnership with the University of Jena, Germany, which also hosted a two-week stay in Germany. The French and Spanish programs followed suit with intensive programs on campus under the leadership of professors Barbara Blackbourn and Vicki Galloway.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn 1994, the School began working in alliance with the Georgia Tech Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER). CIBER provided funding for new courses taught as part of LBAT. This support continued through 2011.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlso of material help was a sizeable grant from Coca-Cola\u0026rsquo;s Whitehead\u0026nbsp;Foundation that\u0026nbsp;allowed more in depth development of the LBAT programs. In 2013, the Gail and Barry Spurlock Endowment was established to support study abroad in Germany, especially the LBAT. Further generous support was provided by The Halle Foundation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThrough the years, the LBAT program achieved increasing recognition as an innovative pedagogical model, reaching ever more students and alumni. Today, the LBATs benefit\u0026nbsp;large numbers of students within the liberal arts, business, engineering, science, and other disciplines, as well as the State of Georgia\u0026nbsp;by creating a multilingual business workforce.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELBAT summer programs have been established for eight languages:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. They vary in length, but most languages offer at least 10 weeks of\u0026nbsp;a\u0026nbsp;program taught abroad, and up to a total of 12 upper-level credits. This means most students can complete a minor in the language by taking one course beyond the summer program. In addition, the LBAT provides a major step towards fulfilling the requirements of the International Plan, which calls for a minimum of 26 weeks studying or working abroad.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Office of International Education (OIE) is a key partner with the School of Modern Languages in providing assistance with study abroad programs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAmy Bass Henry, executive director of OIE, noted that the LBATs were\u0026nbsp;among Georgia Tech\u0026#39;s first study abroad programs and remain a crucial part of integrating international opportunities\u0026nbsp;into a student\u0026rsquo;s education. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;The LBAT\u0026nbsp;programs are so much more than language programs,\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;said Henry. They set Georgia Tech apart from other universities because the language learning is tied to many fields of study and made relevant to both Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies (ALIS) majors\u0026nbsp;and other majors. When intercultural learning is built into language classes, as it is on the LBATs, students learn skills in teamwork and communication that serve them well everywhere.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Institute\u0026rsquo;s International Plan for students\u0026nbsp;was conceived under\u0026nbsp;the Quality Enhancement Plan previous to its current\u0026nbsp;Serve-Learn-Sustain initiative.\u0026nbsp;The LBAT fulfills goals of both QEPs and thus provides an important venue for Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s mission of developing \u0026ldquo;a global footprint\u0026rdquo; and ensuring that \u0026ldquo;innovation, entrepreneurship, and public service are fundamental characteristics of our graduates.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn academic year 2015\/2016, 54 percent\u0026nbsp;of Georgia Tech students studied\u0026nbsp;abroad during their degree program. Among their options\u0026nbsp;are the\u0026nbsp;unique LBAT abroad programs that let them experience the language and culture of people they may come in contact with in the global market and work environment. Every LBAT program has unique characteristics; opportunities range from a program in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, where students develop an app for local bird-watching through place-based-learning and\u0026nbsp;locative media, to a program focusing on sustainability in Spain, to a program in Germany highlighting\u0026nbsp;business structure and issues through\u0026nbsp;company visits, and a Berlin segment that uses the city as the classroom. One of the\u0026nbsp;newest French LBAT programs is one in Senegal.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EUnder the leadership of Anna Westershal Stenport, the School of Modern Languages will continue to develop the LBAT programs, providing a distinctive resume and career path for Georgia Tech students by adding a global perspective to their studies, working with partners in business and industry domestically and internationally, and offering stimulating teaching units incorporating technology and interdisciplinary approaches.\u0026nbsp;The School has proposed a record number of summer study abroad programs this year \u0026mdash; thirteen in total.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStenport, who stepped into the role as\u0026nbsp;chair of the School in August, noted that the LBAT program is a national and international model that is at the heart of the School of Modern Languages.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe are central to both Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s strategic priorities in enhancing students\u0026rsquo; global experiences and to the international mandate of the institution.

I am able to synthesize information from different disciplines to create solutions. For me, it has been both a pleasure and a responsibility to take on these kinds of challenges.

Every time someone got a gold watch I worried about waking up one day wondering what I might have been. During a review, my boss asked me what I really wanted to do. I told him that I wanted to be a journalist and to explore international development work. He worked out a schedule that enabled me to intern at the CNN International Desk while remaining fulltime at AT\u0026amp;T.

It was a 12-hour drive by bad roads to the capital, Accra, and I knew that if I were to have a health emergency, there was little chance I\u2019d survive.

The attacks had originated in Afghanistan, and perhaps it was the journalist in me that needed to go and make sense of things. Since Afghanistan was a failed state, there was also a lot to do in terms of rebuilding the foundations for a robust society. It\u2019s those problem-solving skills I learned at Tech. Afghanistan had been suffering through decades of war, and women in particular were denied opportunities. I felt the people there needed a hand after being lorded over by Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

It was a post-disaster environment, but Indonesia is a comparatively modern, more developed society. Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province, was the hardest hit, and was crowded with aid groups, who surprisingly were coordinating and not competing. I think that had to do with the immense scale of the disaster. I was tasked by the U.S. government to help businesses get back on their feet. I knew that people didn\u2019t want to live off aid\u2014they urgently wanted their lives back. I worked long hours and barely slept. I lost 7 pounds in the first 11 days. One danger there was related to some anti-American sentiment.
