2004-2005 Select Charge to the Council
University System of Georgia
Council on International Education
The Council is charged this year to give primary attention to the strengthening and improvement of existing USG international programs and services. Many new, groundbreaking programs and policies have been established in the University System during the past few years, driven by the Board of Regents strong commitment to international education. It is appropriate to consolidate these recent achievements and focus on their full implementation at all campuses. Specifically, the individual members of the Council who represent the 34 constituent institutions of the University System of Georgia are asked to complete the following assignments:
- Improve intra-institutional communications about USG international education programs, policies, and procedures, so that all members of the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) are aware of the many international opportunities and support services available to them;
- Strengthen participation in the Council’s three open-membership committees (study abroad, international students & scholars, and faculty & curriculum) by encouraging appropriate members of the campus community to engage in the discussions, meetings, and actions of each group;
- Strengthen participation in the System’s four World Regional Councils by appointing an institutional representative to each group, as appropriate, and encouraging any interested faculty and staff to engage in their discussions, meetings, and actions;
- Serve as a designated institutional officer for review and authorization of all campus applications to funding programs and other competitions sponsored by the Board of Regents Office of International Education (e.g., Chancellor’s awards, Global Partnership and other grants, Best Practices awards, etc.);
- Manage institutional participation in the STudents Abroad with Regents Support (STARS) funding programs;
- Provide campus leadership in achieving the institutional study abroad targets presented to the Board in August 2003, which collectively will result in 25% of undergraduate degree recipients having an overseas academic experience by 2007;
- Report the institution’s annual study abroad participation data to the Board of Regents Office of International Education.
