The School of Education International Education Committee (IEC) Charge

In keeping with the UW-Madison campus priorities of accelerating internationalization and the UW School of Education commitment to developing and sustaining a global public research university, the International Education Committee is charged to work collectively across departments, research centers, institutes, and programs to:

(a) support and encourage global initiatives that enrich and strengthen the competitive advantage of UW-Madison School of Education students, employees, alumni, and stakeholders in Wisconsin, nationally, and around the world;

(b) assist in developing capacity and maintaining competitiveness with international School of Education partners;

(c) proactively consider and propose effective strategies for augmenting international initiatives in the School of Education and on campus.

To carry out these objectives, the committee will:

1. advise the Dean on the distribution of funds in support of international initiatives;
2. announce and disseminate information pertaining to international initiatives administered through the IEC;
3. apprise the Dean of the scope and status of international programming in departments and other units within the School;
4. communicate activities pertaining to international initiatives to departments and other units in the School and across the University.

The committee will meet regularly to conduct its business; prepare an annual report on the Committee’s work to present to the Dean, faculty and staff of the School of Education; and be composed of representatives from each department in the School of Education, the Office of Education Outreach, External Relations, WCER, CEW, the International Institute, the Dean’s Office, and WISCAPE, and a chair appointed by the Dean.
