ALL ACADEMIC SENATE MEMBERS SUBJECT: UCSD FACULTY DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS ABROAD OPENING
Applications by tenured faculty interested in serving as one of three Faculty Directors of Programs Abroad are invited. One position among the three Faculty Directorships is available, starting July, 1995. UCSD Faculty Directors provide academic oversight and planning for the international education program at UCSD. The major responsibilities of the Faculty Directors are:
(1) to select students to participate in the Education Abroad Program
(EAP) and to approve academic programs for students participating in UCSD's own Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP);
(2) to coordinate integration of EAP/OAP course work into College and
Department academic programs; and
(3) to serve as ex-officio members of the campus Committee on International Education and Education Abroad and as faculty liaisons with the University Office of the Education Abroad Program at UCSB.
Faculty Directors of Programs Abroad play a central role in our international education program, which is currently being strengthened and expanded. Past Directors have found it highly rewarding to be able to assist students with what has proved for nearly every student to be one of the most important educational experiences of their undergraduate education. Experience in the position can also provide key preparation for selection and service as a faculty Director in one of the EAP foreign study centers located around the world. Faculty with an interest in international education are encouraged to review the accompanying announcement and to contact Mary Dhooge, Director, UCSD International Center for further information (Extension 43730).
If interested, please apply by April 20, 1995.
