International professional development opportunities are a
unique way for faculty and staff to gain insight into the many
challenges our students, both those international students coming to the
U.S. and those American students participating in study abroad
programs, face as they adjust to a new culture.
Our faculty members who teach abroad and/or lead
study abroad programs are priceless assets to our unit as we continue
to grow, increasing student participation in study abroad programs and
growing our quality academic programs abroad.

education, you may have occasion to call on assistance of one kind or
another. This section lists services specifically devoted to helping
