Abstract
Universities are under tremendous pressure to go global and local. There are calls for deepening local engagement (Tierney 1998; Stanton et al. 1999; Trickett and Espino 2004; Kellogg Commission 1999). At the same time, universities are being advised to build a reputation that transcends the local by establishing worldwide visibility and creating a global presence (Douglass, King, and Feller 2009).
