The Office for Global Strategy is available to support Faculty, Departments, and Deans with international agreements and program development to ensure regulatory and institutional compliance and risk mitigation. Our commitment to the safety and success of your international initiatives is a priority.
Through the Center for Academic Excellence, we provide workshops each fall and spring to help faculty develop proposals for programs based on their unique expertise and interests. We work with you on logistics, develop the budget, process the program fees and payments, and advise on risk mitigation.
The Faculty-Led Handbook is designed to provide you with step-by-step assistance as you develop, and eventually lead, a Faculty-Led Program. Please refer to the Timeline within the handbook for Faculty-Led course submission, approval, and launch for guidance.
Faculty who wish to explore virtual options, embedded experiences, study tours, joint programs, pathway programs, or bespoke programs are encouraged to meet with the AVP for Global Strategy. Working with you to identify which partners or locations abroad will best suit your goals, the Office of Global Strategy can source a broad range of options and resources best suited to your particular interests.
Our current partnership agreements support faculty exchanges as well as the promotion of joint programming. We are available to research Erasmus options with you, review and draft agreements, and work to ensure that international research objectives are optimally supported.
