Abstract	The internationalization of higher education (IHE) is beneficial for students, universities, and society. Hence, higher education institutions (HEIs) carry out diverse strategies in this regard; mobility being the most important one. But the outbreak of COVID-19 has harmed internationalization activities, especially in universities in the Global South. The objective of this case study was to describe the strategies for internationalization that a Mexican university adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using qualitative analysis, findings reveal two main themes: the response of the International Affairs Office and the future of internationalization. Implications include the potential for collaboration among stakeholders and the use of technology to deal with uncertain times. Future research may inquire into students' perspectives and development of intercultural competencies through virtual mobility. (As Provided).
