Global Study Advisory Committee
The Global Engagement Advisory Committee was established in 2010 as
an official subcommittee of the College-wide Academic Program and
Standards Committee.
GEAC Charge and Composition
The Dickinson faculty long has been among the most active and
engaged in the nation on matters related to Global Study and
Engagement. A dynamic group of faculty, with broad expertise
and experience (in terms of geographic regions and disciplinary
orientation), the GEAC offers counsel and strategic guidance to the
Executive Director of the Center for Global
Study and Engagement. The GEAC's charge includes, inter
alia, review of new long-term and short-term program proposals; review and
recommendation of faculty candidates for center directorships
abroad; advice and feedback on enhancing the International Student experience on campus; review of complex study-abroad applicant files; consultation with study
abroad staff regarding non-Dickinson student applications; and
consultation on policy considerations related to Global Study at
the College.
Roughly seven to eight Dickinson faculty members comprise the
Committee, with representation coming from all three divisions of
the College and both junior and tenured faculty. Normally,
the membership of the Committee includes at least two faculty
representatives from each division of the College and at least two
faculty members contributing to the study of foreign
languages. Members of the Committee often have served
previously as directors or coordinators of one of the College's
long- or short-term education abroad programs or have been closely
involved with the College's efforts to attract and retain
outstanding international students and scholars.
Additionally, the Committee always includes one faculty member
presently serving on the APSC. Likewise, the Committee always
includes a faculty member or an administrator from the Community
Studies Center, the Center for Sustainability Education, or the
Clarke Forum, to encourage thoughtful coordination of collective
international efforts and activities and prudent leveraging of
resources.
