Each academic department and concentration has a faculty member who serves as a Study Away Faculty Liaison in order to maintain strong connections and facilitate communications with the Center for Study Away. Liaisons provide invaluable feedback as it relates to the approved program list, program evaluations, and academic fit. Meetings with the liaisons are conducted throughout the academic year.
Additionally, each department and concentration has a designated contact person at the Center for Study Away. Their role is to maintain a strong connection with the department liaison, stay up-to-date on requirements for the major, and think strategically about how study away program offerings serve each department and concentration. Faculty wishing to contact the CSA may find the staff liaison for their department to be a good place to start.
