The MSU Advisory Council on Education Abroad (“the Council”) provides ongoing advice and guidance to the Office for Education Abroad on all aspects of program development and review, including:
The Council also serves as a platform for university-wide collaboration and as an expert body on national and international best-practices with regard to international educational exchange and student mobility.
The Council is comprised of representatives from academic college who are appointed by the respective dean. Colleges may designate up to five college representatives. Other MSU faculty and staff may be invited to serve with ad hoc or ex officio appointments. The Council has four standing committees and may form additional ad hoc committees as needed. The Council meets regularly during the academic year and is chaired by the executive director of the Office for Education Abroad.
As the purpose of the Council is advisory, formal rules of order for conducting meetings and making decisions as a group will not be enforced. However, meeting notes will be taken and distributed after each meeting.
