The Center for International Studies provides a focal point for international education at Western. It coordinates the activities of several of the international education units on campus including the International Programs and Exchanges; the Center for Canadian-American Studies, the Center for East Asian Studies, the Asia University Program; and the Intensive English Program. The CIS also sponsors lectures and presentations on global issues and concerns and houses the Minor in International Studies.
In March and April 2008, Douglas Nord, the Director of Western's new Center for International Studies, convened six faculty and staff "consultations." Their purpose was to gain perspectives from a wide cross section of the campus community on the desired goals and objectives for international education at WWU, and explore various themes around which such development might take place.
