Oregon State University 
Dr. Sabah Randhawa reflects on the INTO partnership at Oregon State University. 
02.08 
 
'One of the key things really is that for the University with a population of 25,000 students is the opportunity for our students to work and study with international students and that’s a really critical element.'
Dr Sabah Randhawa  
Provost, Oregon State University 

'The partnership results from the first year are extremely positive. Of the 78 students that matriculated from the OSU pathway programs, 77 are enrolled on OSU degree programs, so I couldn’t have asked for any better results.'
Dr Sabah Randhawa  
Provost, Oregon State University 


INTO OSU students who progressed to the university in Fall 2010 will generate approximately $3 million in revenue annually over the next three years.

'The partnership has had a significant impact in our business practices and the way we look at things. A good case in point, at OSU it took us a couple of weeks to turn applications around and you’re competing in a market place where time is of essence so one of the things the partnership brought was a sense of urgency.'
Dr Sabah Randhawa 
Provost, Oregon State University 

'This is a deeply embedded, long-term joint venture that presents us with an unrivalled opportunity to extend our global reach and meet our strategic vision of building a broad, international student community at OSU, and to offer the best possible preparation for entering the US higher education system. The joint venture model and the academic focus of the partnership was the first of its kind in the USA, and one that we are confident will provide a template for US universities.'
Dr Sabah Randhawa 
Provost, Oregon State University 

'The partnership is really critical to the internationalization agenda at Oregon State University. From the perspective of international recruitment, there is a one-to-one correlation in terms of the goals we have and in terms of what the partnership brings to it.'
Dr Sabah Randhawa 
Provost, Oregon State University
