Chair Joseph asks whether CUNY has set a target number of students for study abroad. Holland says numeric targets are important but CUNY needs to come back with a goal and should also consider future students and whether they view CUNY as offering these opportunities.

Rita C. Joseph

Is there, does CUNY has set a goal to see how many students it can enroll for study abroad?

Rita C. Joseph

Is there a number?

Rita C. Joseph

Is there a goal that you're setting?

Rita C. Joseph

That, hey, I want to get this particular, this amount of students to study abroad.

Rita C. Joseph

Is that something you guys are working on?

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

So it's a fair question.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

You and Councilmember Dinowitz, I think we need to come back at that.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

But I would like to say that although numeric targets are important, in some ways, they're always looking around the corner at the next term or two or year or two.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

I really like an approach which is also informed by looking at down the road who is coming to CUNY.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

And do they think about CUNY as a place where they're going to have these opportunities?

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

And to that end, I think, although it's small scale, there is something that Professor Rothman has done, which I think has planted some amazing seeds.

Member of the Public - Kim Holland

And I hope she can speak to that now.
