Reinventing student life en route to Beijing
A young student challenges herself to learn one of the most unique languages in the world and embarks on an unusual journey discovering a passion for a new culture and way of life in Beijing as a Double Degree student at Università Cattolica. Roberta Lazzeri, who comes from the small town of Valdidentro in the Northern Italian region of Lombardy, is the first Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore student to do a Double Degree at Beijing Language and Culture University in China (BLCU). Università Cattolica Double Degree programmes offer its students the possibility to obtain a double qualification by the end of their studies and a chance to study part of the degree course in a partner university. Roberta chose to follow the Double Degree in Languages for Business course with particular regard to the Chinese language. However, Roberta recognised that she did not want to study only languages and when she found the Languages for Business course at Università Cattolica which combines economics with language learning, she knew it was the perfect fit for her. When Roberta arrived in Beijing, bags, luggage, and uttermost grit in hands, like many who leave home for a new country, she experienced culture shock, “China is a very different country compared to Italy. Despite the struggles of the pandemic, Roberta has officially completed the Double Degree programme at Università Cattolica and BLCU with a thesis on the life and business of Chinese entrepreneur Dong Mingzhu, whose story she found particularly inspiring.
Alumni The Rector, Franco Anelli, has recently visited Cattolica Alumni in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, where the first American Alumni community has now been created. Double Degrees Università Cattolica’s effort is to offer its students new possibilities for the internationalization of their academic path. That’s why Cattolica has just signed two Double Degree agreements: one with The University of Western Australia, for the Master’s degree in Management, and one with Thomas Jefferson University for our School of Medicine. Cooperation projects Università Cattolica has been awarded funding for three projects launched by the 2019 Erasmus Plus program. Secondly, the More Opportunities for Every Child (MOEC) project led by Cattolica’s Centro Studi sulla Disabilità e Marginalità (CEDISMA). Confucius institute The Confucius Institute at Università Cattolica turns ten! 180 courses, 6,000 language certifications and more than 100 conferences: these are some of the achievements reached by the Confucius Institute thus far, and the best is yet to come. Following the recent renewal for ten more years of the agreement between Università Cattolica and the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban), its Vice Director, Ma Jianfei has defined the Confucius Institute as “the best cultural bridge between China and Italy.”.
Traditionally, the internationalisation of a university has been measured by factors such as the number of courses taught in English, the number of international students, and the number of students who have had an experience abroad. We should also consider the internationalisation of the faculty, the composition of the faculty, and the integration of the international perspective into all aspects of the university's activities. How can internationalisation benefit students and faculty? Internationalisation can have a significant impact on the academic, personal, and professional development of students and faculty. How can internationalisation be integrated into all aspects of the university's activities? As previously stated, internationalisation should be viewed as a cross-cutting dimension that encompasses all aspects of the university's operations. What is the importance of formally recognising international experiences in the student's curriculum? Recognising international experiences is essential for promoting internationalisation and providing students with the skills and competencies needed to succeed in a globalised job market. By promoting internationalisation in higher education, we can prepare students and faculty for success in an interconnected world and promote the development of skills and competencies needed to succeed in a globalised job market . Driving International excellence - Professor Stefano Baraldi Professor Stefano Baraldi, the former coordinator of the MSc in Management at Università Cattolica, discusses the impact of Double Degree agreements on the reputation of the Faculty of Economics and the role of internationalisation in EFMD accreditation.

Toward Internationalisation for All
Then, Marina suggested a course to her Vice-Rector and thus, the idea of SUCTI was born - a course at home in the language of the institution, aimed at raising awareness of internationalisation among administrative staff outside international offices. Moreover, the administrative staff often lacked the means or were too bound by daily responsibilities to experience mobility and internationalisation abroad, but they were just as important representatives of internationalisation as the other stakeholder groups. While most higher education institutions in the questionnaire had a strategy for internationalisation and almost two-thirds of them provided training for all administrative staff, only 27% provide training in internationalisation for all staff, 18.4% for some staff and 12.3% for few staff members. Realising that the administrative staff is in fact the backbone of any university and that they are often the silent agents of internationalisation, the SUCTI founders aimed to change this perspective and systematically address the administrative staff of universities in the process of internationalisation over a three-year period. SUCTI objectives The main objectives of SUCTI were to raise awareness of internationalisation among administrative staff outside international offices and to help institutions enhance management, governance, and the identification of training needs. Development of the activities According to the needs and objectives set out at the beginning of the project, SUCTI provided the administrative staff of various universities around Europe, including Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, with knowledge, skills, and tools related to their university’s internationalisation process. CHEI and internationalisation at Università Cattolica At Università Cattolica, the SUCTI project was conducted under the supervision of the Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation (CHEI) headed by Professor Amanda Murphy.
Cultural evangelism: finding and preaching to your brand's congregation
Home News &; Stories Higher ed. experts Cultural evangelism: finding and preaching to your brand's congregation Cultural evangelism: finding and preaching to your brand's congregation by Nicole Brini, International Reputation Manager at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Marcus Collins is an award-winning marketer and cultural translator. Marcus has authored a best-selling book, For The Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be, which examines the influence of culture on consumption and unpacks how everyone, from marketers to activists, can leverage culture to get people to take action. To counter this, she created the Barbie doll, which aimed to inspire young girls to believe in their limitless potential and Barbie has been a symbol of that for decades. This shift culminated in the release of the 2023 movie, Barbie, the perfect distillation of Barbie’s point of view about the world, and the cultural production that people who see the rules similarly to Barbie could use to communicate their own identity. That meaning is culturally mediated, therefore some people who identified with Barbie's message of empowerment saw the movie as a way to communicate their own identity. However, Barbie wasn't talking to those people who didn't “believe” Barbie’s worldview; Barbie talked to its “believers,” and those people took the brand and its work and used it to communicate their identity. For instance, when something great happens in Michigan, the University of Michigan will post something and people will take that post and share it to project their identity as a Michigan Wolverine, leaders and best, go blue, or Michigan difference.

Dr Luz M. Longswort, University of the West Indies How did The University of the West Indies advocate online learning before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic? We began a project called The UWI Distance Teaching Experiment (UWIDITE), which was then transformed into the University of the West Indies Distance Education Centre (UWIDEC) and from these we started with two blended degrees. The physical campuses, which account for about 40,000 students across four campuses had to go into rapid online emergency remote teaching. Another major issue with the students attending the physical campuses and the Open Campus students who were used to meeting at the sites is that lack of community. How has The University of the West Indies maintained the same quality of teaching since the beginning of the pandemic?

Culture shock refers to the feelings of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that people may experience when moving to a new country or experiencing new cultural surroundings (Segel, 2010). I, myself, am an international student, originating from England, and I have experienced culture shock whilst studying abroad. Culture shock will affect almost everybody who moves somewhere new; I’m sure you have heard about this once or twice. Culture shock is usually always portrayed in a negative light; however, it can have a positive impact on study abroad students. Similarly, in terms of personal identity, culture shock can also help you to better understand your values and understanding of the world . So, in a refreshing new light, I have composed two of the main benefits that I have discovered whilst enduring the stages of culture shock.

I drank cappuccinos with a side of chocolate brioche BUT only before 2 pm. I sat in the kitchen with my roommates for countless hours sifting through travel sites to book the most cost-efficient trips possible. And if you can’t relate, listen to a Noah Kahn song, I promise you’ll get the gist. I’d like to think that sometimes, it’s not always just the place that makes you fall in love but the people you experience that place with. And of course, there were moments during study abroad where I’d fall into a phase of homesickness. Thanks to Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore, my host institution, I was able to live out my childhood dream. Cattolica’s international program allowed me to immerse myself in a world of culture I truly never wanted to leave and create the unforgettable memories that every study abroad student raves about when they return home. I fell in love with not only Italy, but the people I met, the university that hosted me, the surrounding cities &; countries, the incredibly unique cultures, and to be quite honest, I fell in love with life.
