Duties:
To support the University’s mission of global citizenship and provide strategic and practical advice on programs and initiatives to the University. In addition to being a center of expertise on campus for our global engagement, the three specific goals of the committee are to: 1) Promote programs and initiatives that foster international student recruitment and create an inclusive environment for international students and faculty with appropriate infrastructure and support for retention at every level; 2) Promote study abroad by acting as a consulting body to campus on processes relating to students (financial and academic advising), staff and faculty (program creation, approval and sustainability), and; 3) Globalize HSU as part of our mission to meet the challenges of the 21st century through the internationalization of the campus including programming and professional development designed to support diversity through intercultural exchange. The Chair of the IAC will facilitate the committee’s work to support the Dean of CEEGE and the Vice Provost in the production of an annual report to the Provost on these three areas of activity. Subcommittees include: International Education Week (IEW) and the International Program Review Committee (IPRC).
