Advisory Board: SIT Study Abroad Partnership Council

SIT’s Partnership Council is a volunteer, advisory body comprising 15 deans and directors working in study abroad from a diversity of colleges and universities. The council helps SIT Study Abroad strengthen its relationships within the field of international studies, particularly when SIT is contemplating or launching new projects and initiatives. Council members provide vital perspectives and expertise on the design, delivery, and assessment of SIT’s field-based programs and the integration of SIT coursework into undergraduate curricula.

The council meets biannually and continues its work electronically throughout the rest of the year. Service terms are for three years.
