STUDY ABROAD HANDBOOK 2019-20 CHANGES

The updated Faculty Leader Handbook for 2019-20 programs is now available.  Under the direction of the Vice Provost and Dean of International Affairs Dr. Pia Wood, a task force of associate and assistant deans from each college reviewed the academic and programmatic rules for faculty led programs to ensure consistency across colleges.  Faculty leaders are encouraged to carefully review these changes before moving forward with a proposal.  The attached document highlights the primary updates for 2019-20.
