This chapter uses the Job, Career, Calling conceptual framework to explore the career motivations of 119 mid-level administrators in international higher education. Further, the primary job responsibilities of the mid-level administrators are also examined to determine if work aligns with motivation. We find that international center directors often came to their roles through a sense of calling that was developed through prior international experiences and the desire to improve the student experience, cultural awareness, and internationalization of the institution and beyond.
