Globalization has resulted in the call for greater diversity and multiculturalism in higher education. In order to achieve its stated goal of preparing students for “responsible global citizenship,” one master’s university1 has adopted an infusion model of internationalization. This study examines how the university’s Chinese Cultural Exchange Program (CCEP) contributed to those campus efforts to enhance multicultural or global awareness, specifically in regards to faculty and student exchanges.
