Global Scholar Council

The Global Scholar Certificate crosses the curriculum of the entire university. It is administered by the Global Scholar Council, a broad support and advisory body that reports to the Provost.

General Duties

The Council is not a governance body; rather it serves in a supportive and advisory role in the following ways:

• provides peer pre‐review of GS course syllabi with regard to Global Scholar course criteria;
• provides assistance to CETL for Global curriculum faculty development, workshop preparation and Global Learning materials;
• works with UARC and the University Registrar to oversee the Global Scholar Certificate;
• makes recommendations to the appropriate governance units or departments related to Global Scholar matters;
• collaborates with the Office of International Education and the Division of Student Affairs to promote global learning activities for students on and off campus; and
• engages with the Provost’s office to assess global learning on campus.

Membership

Nine faculty and staff representatives serve as members of the Global Scholar Council:  one representative from each of the six professional schools: Business, Media, Arts & Communication, Public Affairs & Global Engagement, Education and Human Services, Science, Technology, Engineering & Math, Nursing & Health Professions, one from the Global Languages and Cultures program, the Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC), and the University Studies Program (USP).
